All Whatman Glass Microfibre filters have a fast filtration and a high loading capacity and particle retention rate.

Grade GF/D: Thick filter made from less fine fibres and retaining 2.7µm size particles with a very high loading capacity. Extremely high speed.

• Manufactured without chemical binder from high grade borosilicate glass
• They are suitable for gravity or low suction filtration
• Filtration speeds generally very much higher than conventional cellulose papers
• Efficient retention of micron size particles
• Must be used flat. Ideal for use in flat perforated plate Buchner type funnels (not sintered glass models)
• Can be used up to 550°C
• Wide range of applications including:
• retention of fine analytical precipitates
• retention of biochemical gelatinous precipitates
• water/air pollution analyses
• as prefilters for membranes
• scintillation counting
• radioimmunoassay
