Filter paper Grade: 40, 12.7 mm:Whatman Grade 40 high-purity filters from GE Healthcares Life Sciences business are general-purpose papers for quantitative analysis. Grade 40 filters are suitable for a variety of analytical filtration applications.
High-purity filters contain 0.007% maximum ash content
GE offers a range of Whatman ashless filter paper for your gravimetric analysis needs. See our other ashless grades to find the right filter for your sample, or use our hardened ashless grades if your analysis involves strong acid/alkali suspensions.
Applications for high-purity Grade 40 filters
High-purity filters support accurate analysis in applications sensitive to very low levels of background contamination and in a gravimetric analysis where ash content might affect weight measurements of combusted samples. GEs high-purity Whatman Grade 40 ashless paper is suited to:
Looking for a filter paper, membrane filter, or syringe filter? Let GE help you find the optimal filter for your needs to ensure reliable analysis.
