Millipore fibrous disc filters are available in a wide range of flow rates and throughput capacities. Our glass fibre filters are available with or without binder resins and can be sterilised by EO, gamma, or autoclave (121 °C at 1 bar).
Glass fibre filters without binder resin retain their structural integrity without weight loss when heated up to 500 °C and can therefore be used in gravimetric analysis as well as for the filtration of hot gases.
Type APFA:
Retains fine particles with good efficiency, even at high flow rates
Recommended for monitoring wastewater and collecting suspended particles in gases (e.g., fumes from chimneys)
Use in biochemical applications (e.g., collection of cells and filtration of protein or nucleic acid precipitates)
Type APFF:
Use for filtering extremely fine precipitates such as protein, nucleic acids, or serum precipitates
Recommended for USEPA method 1311 for TCLP analysis
