Filpaco Lab Filter Paper, produced by Great Lakes Filters, is engineered for high-performance laboratory filtration, combining mechanical and adsorptive filtration mechanisms to ensure precise particle removal and chemical compatibility. This makes it an essential tool in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and analytical laboratories.
Filtration Mechanisms
Filpaco filter paper functions as a depth filter, trapping larger particles mechanically while adsorbing smaller contaminants via surface interactions. The random fiber matrix provides multiple pathways for fluid flow, enhancing particle retention. High-purity alpha-cellulose composition ensures minimal extractables and interference in analytical applications.
