Filtration in your industry
Basic analytical testing
In the vast and disparate world of analytical chemistry, products are used for basic laboratory processes that range from simple
clarification to solvent extraction. Products range from filter papers, thimbles and Benchkote™ benchtop protectors, to
membrane filters and phase separator papers.

Food and beverage

Our filter papers are used to prepare food samples prior to a wide range of analyses. Our syringe filters prevent fatty or particulate
laden samples from damaging valuable equipment. Our membranes are used to test for harmful bacteria.

Pharmaceutical
Mini-UniPrep™ syringeless filters and vials reduce high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) sample preparation time and
consumables usage, and track-etched and Anopore™ membranes are also vital to extruding liposomes for encasing and targeting drugs.

Environmental monitoring
Whatman products are cited in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ATSM)
and ISO protocols for environmental monitoring. Whether it is detecting suspended solids in water, measuring air for dangerous
particulates, or supporting asbestos analysis to maintain healthy spaces there is a Whatman filter that is central to the test.

Diagnostic testing
Filter paper in many forms are designed into a wide range of registered diagnostic products, from application such as cancer
detection, though to infectious diseases and even pregnancy tests. Our products include cellulose fiber, glass fiber and membrane
products for use in rapid tests.

Industrial
Filtration products can be found in analytical testing laboratories across many industries. Cytiva filters and equipment can stand
up to the rigors of petrochemical, mining and cement testing, and deliver the precision required for testing microelectronics.

Cellulose filters
Whatman™ cellulose filters are manufactured from high-quality cotton linters which have been
treated to achieve a minimum alpha cellulose content of 98%. These cellulose filter papers are
used for general filtration and exhibit particle retention levels down to 2.5 μm. We offer a wide
choice of retention/flow rate combinations to suit numerous laboratory applications.
The different groups of cellulose filters offer increasing degrees of purity, hardness, and
chemical resistance.

Qualitative filter papers
These cellulose filters are used in qualitative analytical techniques to determine and identify materials. Fluted qualitative
filters are available, which give improved flow rate and increased loading capacity compared to equivalent flat filters.

Grade 1 (11 μm*)

The most widely used filter paper for routine applications with medium retention and flow rate. This grade covers a wide range of
laboratory applications and is frequently used for clarifying liquids. Traditionally, the grade is used in qualitative analytical separations
for precipitates such as lead sulfate, calcium oxalate (hot), and calcium carbonate.
• In agriculture, it is used for soil analysis and seed testing procedures.
• In the food industry, Grade 1 is used for numerous routine techniques to separate solid foodstuffs from associated liquid, or extracting
liquid and is widely used in education for teaching simple qualitative analytical separations.
• In air pollution monitoring, using circles or rolls, atmospheric dust is collected from airflow and the stain intensity measured
photometrically.
• For gas detection, the paper is impregnated with a chromogenic reagent and color formation is quantified by optical reflectance.
Available fluted as Grade 1V.

Grade 2 (8 μm*)
Slightly more retentive and absorbent than Grade 1, with a corresponding increase in filtration time (i.e. slightly slower filtration speed).
In addition to general filtration in the 8 μm particle size range, the extra absorbency is utilized, for example, to hold soil nutrient in plant
growth trials. Also used for monitoring specific contaminants in the atmosphere and in soil testing.
Available fluted as Grade 2V.

Grade 3 (6 μm*)
Double the thickness of Grade 1 with still finer particle retention and excellent loading capacity; more precipitate can be held
without clogging.
• The extra thickness gives increased wet strength and makes this grade highly suitable for use in Büchner funnels.
• The high absorbency is particularly valuable when the paper is used as a sample carrier.

Filter papers – Cellulose filters

Grade 4 (25 μm*)
Extremely fast filtering with excellent retention of coarse particles and gelatinous precipitates such as ferric hydroxide and
aluminum hydroxide.
• Very useful as a rapid filter for routine clean-up of biological fluids or organic extracts during analysis.
• Used when high flow rates in air pollution monitoring are required and the collection of fine particles is not critical.
Available fluted as Grade 4V.
Grade 4 qualitative filter papers
* Particle retention rating at 98% efficiency.

13
Grade 5 (2.5 μm*)
The maximum degree of fine particle filtration in the qualitative range. Capable of retaining the fine precipitates encountered in
chemical analysis. Slow flow rate.
• Excellent clarifying filter for cloudy suspensions and for water and soil analysis.
Also available fluted as Grade 5V.

Grade 6 (3 μm*)
Twice as fast as Grade 5 with similar fine particle retention. Often specified for boiler water analysis applications.

Grade 591 (7–12 μm*)

A thick filter paper with very high loading capacity for fast filtration of medium to coarse precipitates. Offers high absorbency and
increased wet strength.
Also available fluted as Grade 591 ½.

Grade 595 (4–7 μm*)

Very popular, thin filter paper, medium-fast with medium to fine particle retention. Used for many routine analytical applications
in different industries (e.g. particle separation from food extracts or filtration of solids from digested environmental samples for
ICP/AAS analysis).
Also available fluted as Grade 595 ½.

Grade 597 Plus (4–7 μm)

A standard grade filter paper for a variety of routine applications in food and beverage industries.
• Well-suited for determination of fat content in food or removal of carbon dioxide and turbidity from beverages such as beer.
Available in sheets and circles.

Grade 597 (4–7 μm*)

A medium fast filter paper with medium to fine particle retention.
• Used for a wide variety of routine analytical applications in different industries like food testing (e.g. determination of fat content)
or removal of carbon dioxide and turbidity from beverages (as in beer analysis).

Filter papers – Cellulose filters

Available fluted as Grade 597 ½.

Grade 597L (7 μm*)

A qualitative filter paper with low fat content. Suitable for nitrate determination in foodstuffs to §35 LMBG* (* LMBG = German law
for food and consumer products).

Grade 597 Plus filter papers

* Particle retention rating at 98% efficiency.

14
Grade 598 (8–10 μm*)
A thick filter paper with high loading capacity. Combines medium retention with medium-fast to fast filtration speed.
Available fluted as Grade 598 ½.

Grade 602 h (< 2 μm*)

A dense filter paper for collecting very small particles and removing fine precipitates.
• Used in sample preparation (e.g. in the beverage industry for residual sugar determination, acidic spectra, refractometric analysis,
and HPLC.
Available fluted as Grade 602 h ½.

Grade 602 eh (2 μm*)

These cellulose filters are used in qualitative analytical techniques to determine and identify materials. A standard grade filter paper
for very fine precipitates. Used for recovery of microfine ultrapure crystalline components (< 1 μm) in alkaline tests in waste analysis
(e.g. soils, filter dust, ash, ore/slag waste).
Available fluted as Grade 602 eh ½.

Quantitative filter papers—ashless grades
Whatman™ quantitative filters are designed for gravimetric analysis and the preparation of samples for instrument
analysis. They are available in three formats designed for specific requirements.
• Ashless: 0.007% ash nominal for Grades 40 to 44 and a typical nominal ash content of 0.01% for the 589 Grades. These filters are
very pure and suitable for a wide range of critical analytical filtration procedures.
• Hardened low ash: 0.015% ash nominal—treated with a strong acid to remove trace metals and produce high wet strength and
chemical resistance. These filters are particularly suitable for Büchner filtration where the tough, smooth surface of the filter makes
it easy to recover precipitates.
• Hardened ashless: 0.005% ash nominal, acid hardened to give high wet strength and chemical resistance with extremely low ash
content. The tough surface makes these filters suitable for a wide range of critical filtration procedures.

Grade 40: 8 μm*

The classic general purpose ashless filter paper with medium speed and retention. Typical applications include gravimetric analysis
for numerous components in cements, clays, iron, and steel products; as a primary filter for separating solid matter from aqueous
extracts in general soil analysis; quantitative determination of sediments in milk, and as a pure analytical grade clean-up filter for
solutions prior to AA spectrometry. Also used as a high-purity filter in the collection of trace elements and radionuclides from the Quantitative filter papers, ashless
atmosphere.

Grade 41 (20 μm*)

The fastest ashless filter paper, recommended for analytical procedures involving coarse particles or gelatinous precipitates (e.g.
iron or aluminum hydroxides). Also used in quantitative air pollution analysis as a paper tape for impregnation when determining
gaseous compounds at high flow rates.

Grade 42 (2.5 μm*)

Used for critical gravimetric analysis with the finest particle retention of all cellulose filter papers. Typical analytical precipitates include
barium sulfate, metastannic acid, and finely precipitated calcium carbonate.

Grade 43 (16 μm*)

Filter papers – Cellulose filters

Intermediate in retention between Grades 40 and 41, and twice as fast as Grade 40. Typical applications include foodstuffs analysis,
soil analysis, particle collection in air pollution monitoring for subsequent analysis by XRF techniques, and inorganic analysis in the
construction, mining, and steel industries.

Grade 44 (3 μm*)
Thin version of Grade 42 retaining very fine particles but with lower ash weight per sample and almost twice the flow rate of Grade 42.

* Particle retention rating at 98% efficiency.

20
Grade 589/1 (12-25 μm*)
Black Ribbon Filter: ashless filter paper with very high flow rate. Used for many quantitative standard methods, especially for gravimetric
applications (e.g. determination of the ash content in foodstuffs or for the Blaine test in the cement industry).
Also available fluted as Grade 589/1 ½.

Grade 589/2 (4-12 μm*)

Quantitative filter papers—hardened low ash grades
The maximum ash content of these grades is intermediate between ashless and qualitative grades. They are
particularly suitable for Büchner filtrations where it is desirable to recover the precipitate from the filter surface
after filtration. Other characteristics include high wet strength and chemical resistance, which are similar to the
acid hardened ashless filter papers.

Grade 50 (2.7 μm*)

Retention of very fine crystalline precipitates. The thinnest of all filter papers with a slow flow rate, these filters have a hardened
and highly glazed surface, which also keeps the paper free from loose surface fibers. Highly suitable for qualitative or quantitative
filtrations requiring vacuum assistance on Büchner or 3-piece filter funnels. Very strong when wet and will withstand wet handling
and precipitate removal by scraping. In the electronics industry, the virtual absence of fiber shedding is utilized in carriers for
integrated circuits.
This grade is also available in Smear Tab format for wipe testing (e.g. testing of surfaces for radionuclide contamination).

Grade 52 (7 μm*)
The general purpose hardened filter paper with medium retention and flow rate. Very hard surface.

Grade 54 (22 μm*) Hardened low ash quantitative filter papers

Very fast filtration and high wet strength makes this grade very suitable for vacuum assisted fast filtration of difficult coarse
or gelatinous precipitates.

* Particle retention rating at 98% efficiency.

Quantitative filter papers—hardened ashless grades
Hardened ashless filter papers are suited for a variety of precipitate sizes. Along with general filtration Grade 540,
the range includes Grade 542 for retention of fine precipitates and Grade 541 for fast filtration. All three grades are
designed for use in gravimetric analysis.
These filter papers exhibit high wet strength and chemical resistance and are acid hardened, which reduces ash
to an extremely low level. Their tough surfaces make them suitable for a wide range of critical analytical filtration
operations. Each grade offers a convenient combination of filtration speed and particle retention.

Wet strengthened general purpose filter papers
Wet strengthened grades
These extremely strong filter papers have a high wet strength due to the addition of a small quantity of chemically
stable resin. Their use in normal qualitative applications will not introduce any significant impurities into the filtrate.
The resins do, however, contain nitrogen, so these grades should not be used in Kjeldahl estimations, etc. Some wet
strengthened grades are available in folded (fluted) forms.

Grade 91 (10 μm*)

A general purpose creped filter for less critical routine analysis. Widely used to assay sucrose in cane sugar and within pharmaceutical
laboratories for routine filtration.

Grade 93 (10 μm*)

This filter paper is intermediate in speed and retention between Grades 1 and 4. Available in a dispenser pack, which can be attached
to the wall or bench, placed on a shelf either upright or flat, and used as a normal carton or as a convenient dispenser. The envelopes
are released individually for easy one-at-a-time removal. Package and envelopes are clearly marked for size and content. Qualitative filter papers, Grade 91

Grade 113 (30 μm*)

A fast, open filter paper with creped surface and high loading capacity — making it highly suited for use with coarse or gelatinous
precipitates. Fastest flow rate of the qualitative grades.
Also available as Grade 113V.

Grade 114 (25 μm*)

Half the thickness of Grade 113 and suitable for coarse or gelatinous precipitates. Smooth surface for easy recovery of precipitates.
Also available fluted as Grade 114V.

Grade 1573 (12–25 μm*)

A fast filter paper with high wet strength. It has a very smooth surface, making it easy to scrape or wash off precipitate. Resistant
against: sulfuric and nitric acid solutions (up to 40% at 50°C), hydrochloric (up to 10% at 100°C, 20% at 60°C, 25% at 20°C) and
alkalis (up to 10% at 20°C).
Also available fluted as Grade 1573 ½.

Folded and fluted filter papers
Ready-to-use paper solutions
Many grades of our qualitative and quantitative filter paper are available as fluted circles. We also offer a selection
of prefolded cones, quadrant-folded and pyramid-folded filter papers. These convenient formats eliminate time-
consuming manual pleating or folding, streamlining operations in busy labs.
Whatman™ ready-to-use folded filter papers from Cytiva support your application needs, save valuable time and
provide ease of use when undertaking repetitive or multiple analyses.

Fluted filter papers

This convenient format has major advantages over flat circles.
• Savings in time required to quadrant-fold circles to fit conical filter funnels in repetitive or multiple analyses
Folded and fluted filter papers, 113V
• Decreased overall filtration time because of the extra surface area exposed; the normal slow-down of filtration speed due to the
loading of particulate is postponed
• Increased total loading capacity as more filter area is available
• Maintained flow rate due to the reduction in filter paper contact with funnel side and the self-supporting shape of the filter itself
• The prepleating does not significantly affect any of the technical data and the same figures may be used for the flat circles

Additional folded formats

Qualitative and quantitative grades are now available in several convenient folded formats. These ready-to-use paper filters are
available in cone, pyramid, and flat quadrant folded formats, in diameters and grades to support your applications.
Pyramid, flat quadrant-folded and cone filters come in a range of media and diameters, and fit conical funnels. Convenient stacking
and packaging options are available.

Seed germination testing papers
Seed testing papers are made from pure cellulose without any additives and do not contain any substances which
could influence the growth of the seeds. The constant water absorption of the papers ensures the continuous
provision of the required amount of water.
The contrast of the color seed testing papers makes evaluation easier, particularly for seeds with fine white rootlets
or under artificial light. This makes work easier, improves the results, and saves time. The dyes used have been
thoroughly investigated and have no influence on the growth of the seeds.
Seed testing papers are available for both the pleated paper (PP) method and the top of paper (TP) method.

Glass microfiber filters
Whatman™ glass microfiber filters are manufactured from 100% borosilicate glass and are available
with or without binder. These depth filters combine fast flow rates with high loading capacity and
the retention of very fine particles, extending into the sub-micron range. Glass microfiber filters can
be used at temperatures up to 550°C and are excellent for use in applications involving air filtration
and for gravimetric analysis of volatile materials where ignition is involved.
Glass microfiber filters have a fine capillary structure and can absorb significantly larger quantities
of water than an equivalent cellulose filter, making them suitable for spot tests and liquid
scintillation counting methods. The filters can also be made completely transparent for subsequent
microscopic examination.
The particle loading capacity of a filtration system can be greatly increased by using a prefilter.
Glass microfiber filters such as GF/B or GF/D are recommended because of the low resistance
to fluid flow and high particle loading capacity. Multigrade GMF 150 is particularly valuable for the
prefiltration of larger volumes and solutions that are normally difficult to filter. Grade EPM 2000 air sampling filter

Standard binder-free glass microfiber filter papers
Grade GF/A (1.6 μm*)
This grade filter paper offers fine particle retention and high flow rate, as well as good loading capacity.
• Used for high-efficiency general purpose laboratory filtration, including water pollution monitoring of effluents, for filtration of water,
algae and bacteria cultures, food stuff analyses, protein filtration, and radioimmunoassay of weak ß emitters.
• Recommended for gravimetric determination of airborne particulates, stack sampling, and absorption methods of air pollution monitoring.
Grade GF/A card-mounted filters are used in static sample and personal air sampler applications. These aerosol sampling and particulate
monitoring filters provide high flow rates and minimal sample interference.

Grade GF/B (1.0 μm*)

Three times thicker than GF/A with higher wet strength and significantly increased loading capacity. Combines fine particle retention
with good flow rate. Particularly useful where liquid clarification or solids quantification is required for heavily-loaded, fine particulate
suspensions. Can be used as a finely retentive membrane prefilter. Used in LSC techniques where high loading capacity is required.

Grade GF/C™ (1.2 μm*)

Combines fine particle retention with good flow rate. The standard filter in many parts of the world for the collection of suspended solids
in potable water and natural and industrial wastes. Fast and efficient clarification of aqueous liquids containing low to medium levels of fine
particulates. Widely used for cell harvesting, liquid scintillation counting, and binding assays where more loading capacity is required. Binder-free glass microfiber filters, Grade GF/C™
Ready-to-use (RTU) formats available for total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS). (See page 60).

Grade GF/D (2.7 μm*)

Considerably faster in flow rate and overall filtration speed than cellulose filter papers of similar particle retention. The filter is thick
and consequently exhibits a high loading capacity. Designed as a membrane prefilter and available in sizes to fit most holders.
• GF/D will provide good protection for finely retentive membranes.
• Can be used in combination with GF/B to provide very efficient graded prefilter protection for membranes.

Filter papers – Glass microfiber filters

Grade GF/F (0.7 μm*)
This high-efficiency filter will retain fine particles down to 0.7 μm. Unlike membrane filters with a comparable retention value, it has a
very rapid flow rate and an extremely high loading capacity.
Because of the tight specification of 0.6 μm—0.8 μm particle retention and pure borosilicate glass structure, GF/F is the material upon
which the EPA Method TCLP 1311 for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure was developed.
Recommended for nucleic acid binding and purification. Very effective in filtering finely precipitated proteins, GF/F can be used
in conjunction with GF/D as a prefilter for the successful clarification of extremely difficult biochemical solutions and fluids, and
nucleic acids.
Binder-free glass microfiber filters, Grade GF/F
* Particle retention rating at 98% efficiency.

49
Grade 934-AH™ (1.5 μm*)
The fine particle retention of this popular grade is superior for its high retention efficiency at high flow rates and its high loading
capacity. This is a smooth surface, high retention borosilicate glass microfiber filter, which has been pre-fired and withstands
temperatures over 550°C. Grade 934-AH™ is used for a wide range of laboratory applications.
• Used for determining total suspended solids in water, removal of turbidity, and filtration of bacterial cultures.
• Recommended for water pollution monitoring, cell harvesting, liquid scintillation counting, and air pollution monitoring.
Ready-to-use (RTU) formats are available for Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Volatile Suspended Grade 934-AH™ filters
Solids (VSS). See page 60.

Grade EPM 2000

EPM 2000 has been selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in high volume air sampling equipment that
collects atmospheric particulates and aerosols. It is manufactured from 100% pure borosilicate glass of special purity, and pre-fired
to enable the detailed chemical analysis of trace pollutants with the minimum of interference or background.

Multigrade GMF 150
GMF 150 is a multilayer glass microfiber filter with a coarse top layer meshed with a finer layer. Manufactured from 100%
borosilicate glass microfiber, the filter is binder free. It is an excellent prefilter for higher particulate loading capacity
with faster flow rates, extending the life of the filter.

Multilayer design delivers greater filtration efficiency

GMF 150 represents a new dimension in separation science leading to faster and more cost-effective filtration. In application, the
GMF 150 traps larger particles in the pores or on the surface of the coarse layer while the medium sized particles are caught in the
interface meshing. The smaller particles are netted in the interstices of the fine layer. Multigrade GMF 150 grades filter

Ready-to-use (RTU) glass fiber filters for solids
Solids testing, a key measurement in water quality and wastewater analysis, includes testing for total solids (TS), total
dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) and volatile suspended solids (VSS). It can be challenging for a lab
staff to maintain accuracy and daily productivity under time pressure. Whatman™ RTU filters help lab staff simplify filter
preparation steps in solids measurement, streamlining workflows and saving time. The RTU series filters are pretreated
(washing, drying/ignition and weighing) to ensure weight loss less than 4% or 0.5 mg, whichever is less. 934-AH™ RTU
filters meet the requirements of SM2540C/D/E, and GF/C™ RTU filters conform to EN872. The RTU filter family includes
an economy range which is washed and dried but not weighed.

934-AH™ RTU filter out from the box
2. Place the 934-AH™ RTU filter on a 3-piece funnel or a funnel of the vacuum filtration apparatus and seal the filter to the funnel by
wetting with a small amount of water. Then, filter your sample* and finally, wash the filter with three aliquots of 10 mL reagent grade
water.
3. Remove the filter, return it to the aluminum weigh pan and dry it to constant weight at 103°C to 105°C. To obtain the weight of total
suspended solids, subtract the weight of the filter indicated on the pan label from the final weight. For volatile solids analysis, filter
the sample with 934-AH™ RTU VSS filter. After the measurement of total suspended solids, ignite the filter at 550°C for 15 min in a
muffle furnace. The weight loss is the weight of total suspended volatile solids.

Anopore™ inorganic membranes
The Anopore™ inorganic membrane (Anodisc™) is an excellent choice for a wide range of laboratory filtration applications.
This material has a precise, nondeformable honeycomb pore structure with no lateral crossover between individual
pores. Anopore™ membranes filter at precisely the stated cut-off, allowing no larger sized particles to pass through the
membrane. Composed of a high-purity alumina matrix that is manufactured electrochemically, the membrane exhibits
low protein binding is nontoxic, and supports cellular growth.

The precise pore structure and narrow pore size distribution of the Anopore™ membrane ensure a high level of particle removal efficiency.
Microorganisms and particulate material are captured on the surface of the membrane for subsequent analysis by light or electron
microscopy. When wet, the membrane is virtually transparent, so retained particles do not need to be transferred to another surface
before microscopic examination. Anodisc™ circle with support ring

The membrane is hydrophilic and is compatible with most solvents and aqueous material. No monomers, plasticizers, adhesives,
surfactants or wetting agents are used in the manufacturing process, which removes sample contamination and ensures low protein
binding and minimal loss of sample.
The Anopore™ membrane is supplied in the form of Anodisc™ membrane filters. Select from unsupported or peripherally bonded to an
annular polypropylene ring for ease of handling (except the 13 mm diameter disc). Anopore™ membranes are suitable for both vacuum
and pressure filtration.
Anopore™ is available in three nominal pore sizes: 0.02 μm, 0.1 μm and 0.2 μm, and in three diameters: 13 mm, 25 mm and 47 mm.

Features and benefits

• High pore density and narrow pore size distribution make it an extremely precise membrane.
• Wide solvent compatibility reduces the need to stock a variety of membranes in the laboratory.
• Minimized use of additives in the manufacturing process ensures minimal extractables and no sample contamination. Anopore™ inorganic membranes without support ring
• Extremely low protein binding minimizes sample loss.
• Virtually transparent when wet, making it suitable for microscopy studies.

Cellulose acetate membranes

Cellulose acetate membranes, made from pure cellulose acetate, are suitable for biological and clinical analysis, sterility
tests, and scintillation measurements.

Membrane filters – Cellulose membranes

Cellulose acetate membrane filters exhibit very low protein binding capacity. They are hydrophilic, therefore suitable for aqueous and
alcoholic media. The cellulose acetate membranes have improved solvent resistance, particularly to low molecular weight alcohols,
and increased heat resistance. With high physical strength, the membrane filters can be used up to 180ºC, are suitable for hot gases,
and can be sterilized by all methods without sacrificing the integrity of the membrane.

Cellulose nitrate membranes
Recommended for most routine applications, this membrane is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions.
Cellulose nitrate membrane filters provide a very narrow pore size distribution, high flow rate and low levels of extractables.

Higher strength and flexibility

Most membranes are inherently brittle and difficult to handle; it is not uncommon for filters to be damaged during loading into
holders or while in use. Cellulose nitrate membrane filters have improved flexibility and are made to tolerate rough handling,
loading and autoclaving without sacrificing integrity. These membranes are among the strongest of their type available, as
measured and compared by burst pressure tests.

Low extractable levels

The level of extractables in membrane filters has become more important with advances in filtration and adsorption techniques.
In particular, pharmaceutical, immunological and biomedical tissue culture and trace analysis applications can be adversely Cellulose acetate membrane (Type ST 68, 0.8 μm)
affected by high extractable levels. Cellulose nitrate membrane filters have a low level of extractables, generally below that of other
membranes of a similar type.

Narrow pore size distribution

One of the major features of membrane filters is the narrow distribution of pore sizes. The rated pore size of these membranes
is closely managed due to our advanced manufacturing and control system. Additionally, the batch-to-batch variation is minimized,
providing more consistent laboratory results.

Increased temperature stability

Membrane filters are normally autoclaved at 121°C without loss of integrity. Cellulose nitrate membranes are supplied as circles,
sheets, or reels.

Reduced shrinkage
Membranes exhibit a low shrinkage during autoclaving. Excessive shrinkage can cause problems during autoclaving and
is often the cause of membranes tearing in their holders after autoclaving. It may also cause a reduction in flow rate and

Features and benefits

• Narrow pore size distribution for improved surface capture and analysis
• Low levels of extractables to ensure sample integrity

Applications
• Sample preparation

Filter types
White plain filters
This is the standard membrane filter for the majority of laboratory applications involving particles and cells in the range of 0.1 μm to
12.0 μm. The residue after filtration is found to be almost completely on the surface of the membrane and allows physical recovery
of deposits and microscopic examination.

Gridded filters
Gridded filters make it easier to count particles, microorganisms and colonies. If a gridded membrane is required, please see mixed
cellulose ester membranes.

a smoother, more uniform surface than pure nitrocellulose filters, and the cellulose acetate in the composition
provides better characteristics for handling with forceps or placing into filter funnels. Mixed cellulose ester membranes
are well-suited for particle counting, microbiological examination, and environmental monitoring applications.

Eased counting process

When counting microbial colonies, particulate or fibers, select a colored membrane to provide a good contrasting background.

Plain or gridded
Mixed cellulose ester membrane is available in a variety of diameters and colors, plain or with gridlines. Many microbiological techniques
use gridlines to assist in keeping track while counting colonies, or as a way to estimate total counts. Grid lines use a nontoxic ink in a Mixed cellulose ester membrane
unique broken pattern designed to neither inhibit nor enhance colony growth. Select plain membrane for most other environmental
methods that require no gridlines or rely on the graticule in the microscope eyepiece.

Sterile filters
Mixed cellulose ester membranes are available in non-sterile and sterile packaging. Choose from individual sealed discs of membrane
or dispenser pack compatible with the eButler Membrane Dispenser.

Features and benefits

• Sterile options available for microbiology or critical applications.
• Color selection provides excellent contrast for easier colony or particulate counting.
• Grid lines are nontoxic and do not inhibit bacterial growth, ensuring sample integrity.
• Biologically inert with good thermal stability.
• Microporous structure of membrane gives high flow rates and high particulate-loading capacity.

Applications

Membrane filters – Cellulose membranes

The membrane is particularly effective in applications requiring higher flow rates and larger volume filtration, including clarification or
sterilization* of aqueous solutions, particulate analysis and removal, air monitoring and microbial analysis. Other applications include:
• Cytology
• HPLC samples (aqueous)
• Biological assays
• Food microbiology, including enumeration of E. coli in foods
• Bacteriological studies

PTFE membranes
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are chemically stable and inert. They are suitable for applications involving
aggressive organic solvents, strong acids and alkalis. PTFE membranes are particularly suitable for preparing samples
for HPLC analysis. This hydrophobic membrane is laminated onto a nonwoven polypropylene support web, providing
strength and handling, making it an excellent choice for venting culture vessels or delivering filtered air or gas to
instrumentation. Thermal stability allows filtration or environmental sampling up to 120ºC.

Chemically stable and inert

PTFE is the membrane of choice for use with aggressive solvents, liquids, and gases that can attack other membranes. It is
resistant to most acids, alkalis, and solvents. PTFE Membrane Filters—TE Range

Applications
One of the major applications for the PTFE membrane is the clarification of corrosives, solvents, and aggressive fluids. With
excellent chemical compatibility and low extractables, PTFE membrane is a good choice for HPLC mobile phase or sample
filtration where any solid particles can cause permanent damage to the column. PTFE membrane is often used for venting,
filtration of air or gas, or pump protection. Choose 1.0 and 5.0 µm pore sizes for better air flow in systems with less risk of direct
fluid interface. Select 0.2 or 0.45 µm for applications where aerosol and direct fluid contact are possible, such as between fluid
traps and pumps or house vacuum. For critical applications where sterile1 venting is required, choose 0.2µm pore size.

WTP and TE membrane ranges

WTP membranes use a polypropylene grid as the support material whereas the TE range uses a randomly arranged polypropylene
support material.

Glass vacuum filtration devices
Glass vacuum filtration devices come in two general styles: glass filtration assemblies and glass filter
funnels. Both styles use a clamp to hold the upper funnel to the lower base, tightly sealing the filter
in between to prevent fluid bypass. Borosilicate glass provides chemical compatibility and smooth
surfaces for thorough cleaning. Selection of filter support is influenced by the nature of the fluid being
filtered. Low particulate and low viscosity fluids filter well through in integrated porous glass support
while high particulate, viscous or aggressive solvents may require a removable glass or stainless
steel frit to allow for more aggressive cleaning procedures and/or better chemical compatibility.

Glass filtration assemblies

Glass filtration assemblies are designed in three pieces: upper funnel, lower base, and flask.
• Ideal for mobile phase filtration for analytical chemistry applications
• Selected for chemistry applications requiring minimized contact with multiple materials of construction
• Filter directly into a glass flask that can be removed and covered for analysis of filtrate, or retrieve filter for analysis of
particulate collected Glass filtration assembly
• Can be used for microbiological analysis by membrane filter (MF) technique

Filtration hardware and accessories – Glass vacuum filtration devices

Glass filter funnels
Filter funnels are designed in two pieces: upper funnel and lower base with stopper.
• Suitable for microbiological analysis by MF technique of water, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.
• Versatile design allows individual filtration using a traditional side-arm Erlenmeyer flask or installation into a traditional
3- or 6-place manifold systems
• Variety of funnel sizes and membrane diameters to suit a range of applications from particulate and residue analysis to
precipitation and biochemical studies

Membrane prefilters and separators
The life of a membrane filter can be extended many times by placing a prefilter adjacent to or upstream of the membrane. The total
particulate load challenging the membrane is considerably reduced thus allowing the membrane to operate efficiently.
Glass microfiber filters are used as prefilters for membranes. The outstanding properties of borosilicate glass microfibers mean the
filters offer high loading capacity and retention of very fine particulates.
The Multigrade GMF 150, used as a prefilter, nearly doubles the volume of sample filtered compared to a single density prefilter.
Compared to an unprotected membrane, the volume of sample filtered is three to seven times greater. Conventional prefilters
cannot perform in the same way as the Multigrade GMF 150 simply because prefilters of a uniform density do not have the same
loading capacity. For highly particulate loaded samples, the performance of GMF 150 filters is outstanding.

Polyester drain discs
Use these drain discs with hardware where extra support is needed, or between membrane filters to improve flow rate and throughput.
The polyester drain disc is binder free and has a thickness of 100 μm. It provides a flat surface to prevent filter tearing or rupturing
of a filter when placed below, or used as a separator between membrane layers in serial stack filtration applications. This chemically
inert support disc is available in a variety of diameters for use in a range of devices.

Applications
• General laboratory microfiltration.
• Support for membranes such as polycarbonate track etched filters.
• For use under membrane filter to prevent imprinting of hardware support structure during filtration, facilitate sealing, and to aid
in channeling fluid flow through entire effective filtration.
• Use between membrane filters to facilitate fluid flow between membrane layers.

Device media characteristics
and properties
The right choice of filter media for any given application or analytical technique is critical for optimal
performance. Chemical compatibility, hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature, low extractables, low
protein binding, high loading capacity (for high particulate samples) are all characteristics that need to
be considered in filter media selection. Use the descriptions below to help guide your selection of the
most appropriate solution for your sample type, application or technique.

Cellulose acetate (CA)

A hydrophilic membrane which exhibits very low protein binding characteristics. Generally used in applications involving filtration
of proteinaceous suspensions, either for recovery or for analysis of proteins, amino acids etc. Limited compatibility with organic
solvent, but can be used with some alcohols.

Cellulose nitrate (CN)

A hydrophilic membrane, generally used for aqueous samples though may be used with some organic solvents such as aliphatic
hydrocarbons. Not generally recommended for applications where low protein binding characteristics and maximum recovery of

Filtration devices – Device media characteristics and properties

proteins or amino acids are required.

Nylon/polyamide (NYL)
A hydrophilic membrane with resistance to a broad range of organic solvents and suitable for use with high pH samples. Not
generally recommended for applications where low protein binding characteristics and maximum recovery of proteins or amino
acids are required.

Polyethersulfone (PES)
A hydrophilic membrane exhibiting low protein binding and low extractables. Suitable for filtration of aqueous samples and some
compatible organic solvents. Especially well-suited for aqueous sample preparation where low protein binding is important, and
for HPLCA sample preparation of aqueous suspensions.

Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)

A hydrophilic membrane with good general chemical compatibility to a broad range of organic solvents and exhibiting low protein
binding. Useful for filtering aqueous/organic suspensions, especially where minimal protein binding is required.

124
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
A hydrophobic membrane that is resistant to most organic solvents as well as strong acids and bases. Generally low protein binding
and low in extractables. Main applications are the filtration of non-aqueous samples, especially where an inert nature and good
chemical resistance are required such as for strong, aggressive organic solvents. Prior to filtering aggressive aqueous solutions, the
membrane must be prewet with a water-miscible solvent such as methanol or IPA in order to allow aqueous suspension to pass.

Hydrophilic polytetrafluoroethylene (H-PTFE)

A hydrophilic membrane that offers broad chemical resistance, low protein binding and low extractables and can be used for both
aqueous and aggressive organic solvents. The inert nature and low extractables of hydrophilic PTFE makes it particularly suitable
for uHPLC/HPLC sample preparation where a variety of different sample types may need to be prepared, as well as for many other
applications requiring broad chemical resistance.

Regenerated cellulose (RC)

A hydrophilic membrane that is resistant to a very wide range of solvents and exhibits low protein binding characteristics. The broad
chemical resistance and low extractable nature of regenerated cellulose makes it an excellent choice for general HPLC sample
preparation of samples suspended in either aqueous or organic solvents. The low protein binding character suits applications where
minimal binding and maximizing recovery of proteins and amino acids are important.

Polypropylene (PP)
A mildly hydrophobic membrane that offer broad chemical resistance to many organic solvents. Especially suited to filtration of
aqueous/organic solvent suspensions.

Polypropylene depth filter (DpPP)

Filtration devices–Device media characteristics and properties

A mildly hydrophobic filter with excellent flow rates and loading capacity and is compatible with both aqueous and organic solvents.
This media is a good choice where increased loading capacity is required such as general clarification of samples.

Anopore™ (ANP)
Anopore™, the membrane used in Anotop™ filters, is a hydrophilic membrane with excellent organic solvent compatibility, an inert
nature and low extractables, making it very suitable for use with both aqueous and organic samples. The membrane has a well-defined
pore structure and very narrow pore-size distribution making it especially suitable for critical applications and sample preparation.
Not suitable for use with very acidic or very basic samples.

Glass microfiber/glass fiber (GMF/GF)

Offers very broad chemical compatibility with organic solvents and strong acids (apart from hydrofluoric acid) and bases due to the
inherent inert nature of glass microfiber. The physical structure of the glass microfiber filter matrix offers a combination of good
loading capacity and high flow rates when compared to membrane filter media. Especially suited to use either as a prefilter or for
general clarification of samples with high levels of particulates.

125
Syringe filters
Disposable syringe filter devices provide fast and efficient filtration of aqueous and organic
solutions. With a wide variety of membrane filters and polypropylene or polycarbonate housing, Safety
syringe filters are made with advanced methods and design features. These syringe filters are
suitable for numerous applications in pharmaceutical, environmental, biotechnology, food and These safety guidelines are
applicable to ALL syringe filters.

Difficult to filter
Whatman GD/X™ syringe filters
The Whatman GD/X™ range is specifically designed for difficult to filter, high particulate loaded samples.
Constructed of a pigment-free polypropylene housing with a prefiltration stack of Whatman™ GMF 150
(graded density) and GF/F glass microfiber media, these filters remove sample contamination and allow
you to filter even the most difficult samples with less hand pressure. GD/X syringe filters can process three
to seven times more sample volume than standard syringe filters.
GMF 150 and GF/F are produced from 100% borosilicate glass microfiber. Graded density GMF 150 medium
has a coarse top layer meshed with a fine bottom layer that retains particles to 1.0 μm. A GF/F filter then
retains particles down to 0.7 μm. The prefilter stack ends with a final membrane.

The filter construction facilitates exceptional loading capacity with fast flow rates. This prevents the build up of back
pressure typically caused by the blocking of an unprotected membrane.

Features and benefits

• 13 mm devices for samples up to 10 mL and 25 mm devices for samples greater than 10 mL.
The volume of sample that can be filtered through each filter depends on the characteristics of the sample. Filters samples with
• Sterile options. high particulates
• Pigment-free polypropylene housing. with less hand force
• Prefiltration stack of Whatman™ GMF 150 (graded density) and GF/F glass microfiber media.
• Minimizes sample contamination.
• Requires less hand pressure, even with the most difficult samples.
• Processes three to seven times more sample volume.

Applications

All-in-one filters and filter vials
Whatman™ all-in-one syringeless filters and filter vials are preassembled, convenient filtration
devices for removing particulates from samples. They replace syringe-coupled filtration devices
with a single disposable unit, making sample preparation easier, faster, and more efficient.

Mini-UniPrep™ integrated syringeless filters and filter vials

The Mini-UniPrep™ preassembled filtration device consists of a 0.4 mL capacity chamber and a plunger. The plunger contains a
filtration membrane at one end and a preattached cap and septum at the other. The plunger is pressed through the sample in the
outer chamber and positive pressure forces the filtrate into the reservoir of the plunger. Air escapes through the vent hole until the
locking ring is engaged, providing an air-tight seal. Within seconds, the Mini-UniPrep™ can be placed
into any autosampler able to contain 2 mL vials for injection into your instrument.
The device can be used either manually or with a compressor unit. The multicompressor can process up to six samples at one Mini-UniPrep™ syringeless filters
time, further improving sample processing time and reducing the risk of hand stress. The Mini-UniPrep™ device is designed to
fit into any autosampler accommodating 12 × 32 mm vials. Alternatively, the septum can be pierced with a needle and the sample
drawn off for manual injection into an analyzer.

Features and benefits

• All-in-one filtration process allows you to process sample loads in one-third of the time. Septum
• Wide range of membrane choices from 0.2 and 0.45 μm pore sizes to meet specific sample application requirements.
• Compatible with most major autosamplers. Cap

UniPrep™ filter vials
UniPrep™ filter vials are preassembled filtration devices for the filtration and storage of laboratory samples. These
devices are quick and easy to use and feature a plunger, filter, and vial in one unit. They replace syringe-coupled
filtration devices with single, disposable units.
UniPrep™ devices consist of two parts: a test tube and a filter-plunger. The design incorporates a prefilter and a
membrane into the tip of the plunger. When the filter-plunger is pressed through the liquid placed in the test tube,
positive pressure forces the filtrate up into the reservoir of the filter-plunger.
UniPrep™ devices function in a similar way to the Mini-UniPrep™. However, UniPrep™ does not contain a septum in the
cap and can be used to filter larger volumes (1 to 5 mL).

Features and benefits

• Integral storage vial saves time and minimizes laboratory waste.
• Built-in glass fiber prefilter means even difficult samples are quick and easy to prepare.
• Choice of membranes for wide sample compatibility.
UniPrep™ Syringeless Filters

Applications
• Sample preparation (e.g. prior to preparative HPLC)
• Difficult-to-filter samples
• Quick filtration of samples

The UniPrep™ filter vial is selected based on compatibility with the sample in use. In manual operation, the tip is brought into
contact with the liquid, and then the filter plunger is slowly pushed into the test tube until it stops at the bottom. The UniPrep™ is
emptied either by decanting into a sample or autosampler vial or by drawing the filtered sample into a syringe for manual injection
into an instrument.

Filtration devices – All-in-one filters and filter vials

UniPrep™ membranes are available in a range of media for various applications.
• GMF: Layered glass microfiber depth filter for use with samples containing aqueous or organic solvents (indicated pore size is the
particle retention rating)
• NYL: Naturally hydrophilic membrane for filtration of samples containing aqueous or organic solvents with a pH range of 3-10
• PTFE: Chemically inert PTFE membrane for filtration of samples containing > 50% organic solvent
• PVDF: Low protein binding membrane for filtration of samples with aqueous or aqueous/organic solvent composition

Autovial™ filter vials
Autovial™ filter vials are preassembled filtration devices for removing particulates from samples. They replace
syringe-coupled filtration devices with single, disposable units.
Autovial™ devices are comprised of two parts: a graduated filter barrel and a plunger. The proven design features
an integral filter, built-in air purge and a support stand that protects the recessed slip-Luer tip. They are available
in a 5 mL and 12 mL volume capacity.
The Autovial™ filter is selected according to membrane compatibility with the sample. In practice, the sample
is poured into the 5 mL or 12 mL capacity filter barrel. A plunger is inserted into the barrel until the bottom is
securely in place; there is a gap of air between the sample and plunger. Then, the tip of the Autovial™ is placed
into the mouth of an autosampler vial or container and the plunger compressed. Filtration begins immediately.
As the plunger is compressed until it reaches the bottom, the membrane is purged with air for maximum sample
recovery. For direct instrument injection, a needle is placed on the Autovial™ slip-Luer outlet.

Features and benefits

• Single unit convenience: unit is pre-assembled and easy to load.
• Choice of filter media for compatibility with a wide range of sample types. Autovial™ syringeless filters
• Excellent for hazardous samples. Self-contained device removes the risk of filter pop-off.
• Built-in air purge maximizes sample recovery.
• Sterile option is available to maintain sample integrity.
• Glass fiber or polypropylene prefilter is available in selected 12 mL vials for difficult-to-filter samples.

Autovial™ membranes are available in a range of filter materials for various applications.
• CA: Low nonspecific protein binding and high loading capacity membrane for biological solutions
• GMF: Glass microfiber depth filter for samples in aqueous or organic solutions
• NYL: Nylon membrane for aqueous and organic samples within a pH range of 3 to 10

Filtration devices – All-in-one filters and filter vials

• PES: Low nonspecific protein binding membrane for samples in aqueous solutions
• PP: Hydrophobic membrane, resistant to a wide range of organic solvents

Mobile phase filtration
Inline filters feature high-purity polypropylene housings to maintain sample purity
and are available with a choice of filtration media to suit a range of aqueous and
organic samples.

Inline filter/degasser
Inline Filter/Degassers (IFD) connect directly into an HPLC line to simultaneously filter and degas the mobile
phase as it is being used. The Aqueous IFD provides pure filtration of aqueous based HPLC mobile phases while
the Solvent IFD is used with organically based HPLC mobile phases. Aqueous IFD is designed to work with mobile
phases containing at least 20% aqueous component.
The Aqueous IFD has a 0.2 μm hydrophilic nylon membrane for use with aqueous-based mobile phases. Solvent
IFD has a 0.2 μm high-flow polypropylene membrane for mobile phases containing organic solvents. Both devices
have a polypropylene housing, the circumference of which is sealed by a security ring, fittings to accommodate
1 ⁄16” to 1 ⁄8” tubing and an air vent on the inlet with Luer lock cap to enable priming.
The inline filters work on the principle of “bubble point”—the point of pressure at which gases will pass through Inline filter/degassers (IFD)
a wet membrane. If pressure is maintained below the bubble point, the gas will not pass through the membrane
and is trapped by the particular filter device.

Features and benefits

• Faster than traditional methods of mobile phase preparation, saving time in the laboratory
• Enhanced laboratory safety
• No need to purchase expensive degassing equipment
• Rugged, chemically resistant polypropylene construction
• Air vent on inlet with Luer lock cap
• Integrity-testable (bubble point method)

Polycarbonate membranes
Cyclopore™ polycarbonate membranes
Black Cyclopore™ membranes are excellent for epifluorescence and other microscopy applications requiring a contrasting background.
The polycarbonate membrane is used to filter the sample and is then used directly for analysis. The dark membrane gives lower
background fluorescence and improves the sensitivity of the test.
Natural Cyclopore™ membranes are well suited for concentration of organisms and visualizing by transmission light and scanning
emission microscopy. They are also effective for concentrate and elute microbiological methods prior to plating the concentrated
sample onto agar. Concentrated samples can also be used for eDNA methods or other types of molecular detection. Meets the
requirements for ISO 11731 Legionella sp testing. Cyclopore™ PC Polycarbonate Black membrane

See page 67 and 74 for details and ordering information.

Nuclepore™ polycarbonate membranes

Nuclepore™ black dyed polycarbonate membranes are high performance membranes suited for applications using epifluorescence
microscopy. Black membranes greatly reduce background fluorescence, which results in improved microorganism and particulate
visibility.
Using these membranes in combination with epifluorescence techniques, rapid enumeration of viable and nonviable microorganisms
and particulate matter can be conducted in 30 minutes or less. Conventional culturing methods require incubation times of
more than 24 hours. Use black track-etched membranes with epifluorescence techniques to achieve rapid, direct enumeration
of microorganisms. Yeast cells on Black Cyclopore™ with DAPI Stain

pH Indicator and test papers
Whatman™ pH indicator and test papers combine ease of use with exceptional accuracy and consistency.
The convenience of using indicator papers for the rapid determination of pH values has led to many
applications in laboratories and industry.

Features and benefits

• Instant pH readings
• Accurate for a wide range of routine pH testing

pH indicators
Strips type CF (color bonded dye system)
Individual plastic support strips carry four different segments of dye-impregnated indicator papers. The resulting combination of
color differences gives an extremely clear and accurate visual pH value. All the dyes are chemically bonded to the paper and cannot
be leached into solution; problems associated with contamination of the sample and resultant anomalous readings are avoided. pH indicators

Strips type CS (integral comparison chart)

Each test strip has a central segment of indicator dye and, printed alongside, eight or more different color segments marked with
corresponding pH values for matching purposes.
The pH test value can be read off by direct comparison of the test strip color and the color bars. Excellent for colored solutions, when
any changes in color of the paper stock are automatically cancelled out.

Phase separator paper
Whatman™ 1PS phase separator is a high-grade filter paper impregnated with a stabilized silicone
that renders it hydrophobic, retaining the aqueous phase and passing the solvent phase through.

Features and benefits

• Ease of use—no special training required.
• Any number of separations can be processed together.
• Staff involvement in routine separations is at a minimum.

Automatic cut-off, separatory funnel replacement

After being shaken, the mixed phases are simply poured directly into the 1PS circle, which is quadrant-folded in a funnel. The
1PS Phase separator papers
separation is extremely rapid so it is unnecessary to wait until the two phases have settled into separate layers. Droplets are
automatically separated after only a few moments, giving a solvent phase completely free of the aqueous phase.
In many applications, 1PS can replace the use of separatory funnels. The solvent phase flows through the paper quickly and
cleanly. It then stops automatically, leaving the aqueous phase completely in the paper. This feature is particularly important
when carrying out a large number of routine solvent extractions at the same time. Samples can be shaken with solvent in
stoppered conical flasks or test tubes and transferred directly to funnels containing 1PS.

Unsupervised separation
A key benefit of the 1PS method is that cut-off is automatic and complete as soon as the solvent phase has passed through*.

* Water may break through upon prolonged standing.

Lateral-flow immunoassays
With a diverse array of products, Cytiva is one of the leading suppliers in lateral-flow technology. Our offering includes our
wide range of blood separation products, conjugate release pads, nitrocellulose membranes, and absorbents.
Developments in lateral-flow immunoassay systems allow for single step assays that require only the addition of a sample.
The sample flows through the device and comes into contact with dried reagents, usually a tagged secondary antibody. The
antibody and analyte migrate to a capture zone of membrane-immobilized antibody. Any unreacted tagged antibody flows
past the capture zone.

Conjugate release pads for lateral-flow immunoassays
Conjugate release pads are critical to lateral-flow immunoassays. To ensure consistent performance, the conjugate must dry
without damage or aggregation and release rapidly when the sample comes into contact with it.
Conjugate release pads do not require treatment prior to conjugate application, as they are inherently hydrophilic. The open
structure of the material allows rapid penetration by both conjugate and sample.

Features and benefits

• Higher level of conjugate release: Less waste means reduced reagent costs
• Higher capture line intensity, as more conjugate gets to the capture line: Improved sensitivity
• Pad rewets naturally and rapidly every time: Improved consistency

Membranes for lateral-flow immunoassays
Nitrocellulose membranes are a key functional component of lateral-flow immunoassays. The membrane must provide sufficient
protein binding to produce a sharp and intense capture line, but at the same time the level of nonspecific background must be
low enough for easy interpretation of the results.
Nitrocellulose membranes are available in a range of wicking rates and formulations. The wicking rate of a membrane has a
significant impact on test sensitivity.

Unbacked membranes

AE nitrocellulose membranes
Constructed of 100% nitrocellulose, the AE membrane offers a higher level of purity and performance than that seen in post-treated
materials. AE membranes have been used extensively since the development of the original lateral flow tests and have become a
standard for manufacturers worldwide. There is a long history of success and experience for assay optimization using these products.
AE membranes are unbacked, which means either belt or air side of the membrane can be used.

FFHP nitrocellulose membranes
FF High Performance (HP) membranes are part of the family of nitrocellulose membranes that are directly cast onto a plastic film.
The FFHP membranes are a result of improved membrane casting procedures, which result in membranes with high reproducibility,
enhanced intra- and inter-lot consistency and sharper lines. The surface is uniform without any unincorporated nitrocellulose powder,
and the fine structure fiber distribution provides large internal surfaces for binding proteins.

Features and benefits

• Backed membrane
• Increased mechanical strength of the membranes, simplifying use in reel-to-reel machines
• Direct contact is prevented between the nitrocellulose material and the adhesive from the lamination card where the test elements
are mounted

Flow-through immunoassays
In a flow-through immunoassay the sample is applied directly to the membrane surface and allowed to wick through
the membrane into an absorbent paper below.

Nitrocellulose
Nitrocellulose membranes Membrane

Small-pore unsupported membranes such as BA83 and BA85 can be used; they are highly sensitive small-pore membranes with Absorbent
large surface area and high protein binding capacity. However, they have to be carefully encapsulated, ensuring good contact
between the membrane and the absorbent, to give good flow.
Flow-through assay

Features and benefits

• Manufactured for vertical-flow assays: Removes problems caused by capillary rise
• Small pore structure: Accurate results; low nonspecific binding; greater sensitivity
• One hundred percent pure nitrocellulose: Provides high binding capacity

Absorbents
The absorbents used for flow-through assays must wick quickly and be highly water absorbent. The volumes of liquids used in
flow-through assays can be much higher than those in lateral flow. Thicker cellulose materials with fast wicking are therefore
the material of choice.

Dipstick colorimetric assays
Dipstick colorimetric assays, in which a cellulose pad is impregnated with a color reagent, are widely used in everything
from urine testing to environmental assays. The base cellulose is a key part of the system, and the correct choice of
absorbency, wicking rate, and wet strength are critical to producing a working assay. The Cytiva range of cellulose
materials for dipstick colorimetric assays offers highly consistent and inert substrates for absorption of the active
chemicals required for development of dipstick tests.
The purity of the cellulose base material coupled with our quality manufacturing practices make these papers an
excellent choice for large-scale manufacturing.

Track-etched membranes for diagnostic
applications
Cytiva provides a range of track-etched membranes (TEMs) whose advanced technical specifications
make them an outstanding choice for a wide range of diagnostic applications.
TEMs have very tightly controlled pore size distribution. This allows for quantification of cells or
microorganisms, which are captured on the membrane surface. TEMs are usually transparent at larger
pore sizes, which allows complete transmission of light, ensuring excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

Choose Cyclopore™ or Nuclepore™ track-etched membranes for applications including:

• Cell capture
• Particle-capture assays
• Biosensors

Diagnostic assay components – Track-etched membranes for diagnostic applications

Features Benefits
Biologically inert Whole cell assays can be performed.
Low protein binding and low extractables There is no interference with assay results because of membrane.
Choice of surface properties Assays can be designed with the appropriate flow or retention characteristics.
(hydrophilic and hydrophobic version available)
Does not bind stains or labels Gives lower background signal than traditional materials.
True surface capture on a flat, smooth surface Cells or particles are highly visible or available for sample recovery by backflushing.
Low hold-up volume Practically all the applied sample is available for analysis.
Controllable optical properties The optical properties can be chosen to ensure excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Clear materials allow
(transparent, translucent, and/or dyed) complete transmission of light, whereas dyed varieties block signal from behind the membrane.
PC or PET material Allows easy attachment to a range of housings for design of components.

250
Application examples

Cell capture
Since TEMs have tightly controlled filtration characteristics, they can be used in cell capture applications. This application allows
for easier identification of marked cells in a number of formats. The retention of cells upon the membrane surface allows cells
to be stained and observed in a very clear environment. The improved resolution and accuracy have applications in any area of
clinical chemistry in which cells are observed. The reduced likelihood of a false diagnosis also has a significant impact, especially
in large-scale screening procedures.

Particle-capture assays
Using membranes for particle-capture tests is a relatively well-known technique. The usefulness of these assays can be enhanced
by using dyed or fluorescent latex particles as a label. Such labels can produce a more sensitive or stable assay. Using a TEM for
particle capture allows for a more specific capture reaction, and capturing the particles on the membrane surface rather than in Yeast cells on Black Cyclopore™ with DAPI Stain
the depth of the membrane matrix enhances sensitivity.

Biosensors

Point-of-care immunoassays – Track-etched membranes for diagnostic applications

TEMs provide accurate flow control of diffusion properties in biosensor applications in which the membrane acts as a barrier
to biological cells and controls their flow to the sensor. The membrane also serves as a barrier to many potential contaminants,
improving the assay’s specificity. In applications involving the presence of biochemical reagents to measure the reaction, the
pores can be filled with the desired materials (e.g. antigen or enzymes). The complete biosensor can therefore be dried onto
the membrane.
We offer a complete range of track-etched membranes manufactured using proprietary technology to produce a precision
membrane filter with a closely controlled pore size distribution.

Filtration simplified
Basic filtration concepts and terms
Selecting a filter with the appropriate properties can help you achieve accurate results and reach
discovery faster. But with so many types of filters to choose from, how can you be sure you’re making
the right choice? Use this compilation of basic filtration concepts and terms as a handy reference to
clarify the various options available to you to speed up your selection process.

Ash content
Determined by ignition of the cellulose filter at 900°C in air. Minimizing ash content is essential in gravimetric applications and also
a useful measure of the level of general purity.

Chemical compatibility
It is very important to ensure that the structure of the filter media will not be impaired by exposure to certain chemicals. In addition,
exposure to these chemicals should not cause the filter to shed fibers or particles, or add extractables. Length of exposure time,
temperature, concentration, and applied pressure can all affect compatibility. Chemical compatibility charts are provided to aid
your filter selection.

Membrane filters allow the efficient retention of

Depth filters submicron particulates and organisms.
Depth filters are usually characterized as filters that retain particles on the surface and within the filter matrix. All conventional
fibrous filters (whether manufactured from cellulose, borosilicate glass microfiber or other fibrous material) are depth filters and
are normally characterized by good loading capacity.

Hydrophilic
Hydrophilic filters possess an affinity for water and can be wetted with virtually any liquid. They are typically used for aqueous

Appendix A – Filtration simplified

solutions and are compatible organic solvents.

Hydrophobic
These filters repel water, and are thus best suited for filtering organic solvents as well as for venting and gas filtration applications.

Glass microfiber filters are manufactured from

100% borosilicate glass.

Liquid flow rate (including Herzberg method)
Under practical filtration conditions, the liquid flow rate will depend on a number of factors, many of which will be specific to the
solid and/or liquid being filtered. In order to compare filter performances, a standardized set of conditions is required which will
characterize liquid flow rate for a given filter without the complicating secondary effects derived from the presence of particulates.
Liquid flow rate can be quantified by a variety of methods. For example, the Herzberg flow rate test where prefiltered, deaerated
water is applied to the test filter (effective area 10 cm2) at a constant hydrostatic head (10 cm) is commonly used. The rate of the
flow is measured in seconds per 100 mL.
Flow rate can also be measured by the modified ASTM method which uses a quadrant folded filter held in a wire loop.

Loading capacity Cellulose filter papers exhibit particle retention

levels down to 2.5 μm.
Loading capacity is the ability of a filter to load particulates into the fibrous matrix while maintaining a practical filtration speed
and a workable pressure differential across the filter. In general, glass microfiber filters have a high loading capacity when
compared with cellulose filters of the same retention rating and thickness. Membranes have inherently low loading capacity.

Particle retention (air/gas)

Retention mechanisms for removing particulates from air or gas enable much higher efficiencies to be realized than those applicable
to liquids. Efficiencies for air filtration are normally expressed as percent penetration or retention for a stated airborne particle size.
The dioctyl phthalate (DOP) test is commonly used, wherein the filter is tested with an aerosol containing 0.3 μm particles.

Particle retention (liquid)

In a filtration process, the particle retention efficiency of a depth-type filter is often expressed in terms of the particle size (in μm)
at which a set level of the total number of particles initially testing the filter is obtained. It is customary to quote the retention
levels at 98% efficiency to allow for secondary filtration effects. Multigrade GMF 150 combines two filters in one for
fast, effective, multilayered filtration.
Pore size (membranes)
For membranes, the pore size, usually stated in micrometers (μm), is based upon bubble point. Pore size ratings are nominal for
all membranes apart from those for track-etched and Anopore™ membranes. For track-etched and Anopore™ membranes the pore
sizes are absolute, as these membranes have true pores (i.e. a top-to-bottom hole through the membrane).

Prefilters

Appendix A – Filtration simplified

The life of a membrane filter can be extended many times by placing a prefilter upstream of the membrane. The total particulate
load challenging the membrane is considerably reduced, thus allowing the membrane to operate efficiently.

Screen or surface filters

Membrane filters are generally described as screen filters because particles are almost entirely trapped on the filter surface.
The narrow effective pore size distribution of membrane filters is one of their major features.

Basic filtration concepts and terms
Filter papers
Qualitative and quantitative filter papers are, with few exceptions, manufactured from high-quality cotton linters that have been
treated to achieve a minimum alpha cellulose content of 98%. These cellulose filter papers are used for general filtration and exhibit
particle retention levels down to 2.5 μm. There is a wide choice of retention and flow rate combinations to meet the needs of
numerous laboratory applications. The different groups of filter paper types offer increasing degrees of purity, hardness and chemical
resistance. quantitative filter papers have extremely high purity to allow for analytical and gravimetric work.

Glass microfiber filters (GMF)

The properties of borosilicate glass microfibers enable Cytiva to manufacture filters with retention levels extending into the submicron
range. These depth filters combine fast flow rate with high loading capacity and retention of very fine particulates. Due to the high void
volume exhibited by glass microfiber filters, the loading capacity is considerably higher than for a cellulose filter of similar retention.
Glass microfiber filters must be used flat and should not be folded. Glass microfiber filters are manufactured from 100% borosilicate
glass and most are completely binder-free. Binder-free glass microfiber filters will withstand temperatures up to 550°C and can
therefore be used in gravimetric analysis where ignition is involved.

Membrane filters
Unlike cellulose and glass microfiber depth filters, membrane filters are conventionally classified as surface filters because the filter
matrix acts as a screen and retains particulates almost entirely on the smooth membrane surface. The retention levels for these filters
extend down to 0.02 μm and allow the efficient retention of sub-micron particulates and organisms. Water microbiology and air pollution
monitoring are major applications for membranes.

Types of filter holders (1) (2)

A filter matrix requires a suitable support structure to enable it to be used for the filtration of liquids or gases. One of the simplest
forms of holder is the conical glass filter funnel into which a quadrant folded or fluted filter paper is placed (1). Some applications require
additional motivating force for the solid particulate and liquid separation to occur (i.e. vacuum assisted filtration). This type of filtration
can be carried out in a one-piece Büchner style funnel (2) where the filter is used flat on a perforated base sealed into the funnel.
Due to the difficulties encountered in cleaning this type of funnel, the demountable 3-piece funnel was developed (3). 3-Piece Filter
Funnel can be fully disassembled and enables the filter paper to be securely clamped between the support plate and filter reservoir
flange. Membrane holders (4) incorporate either sealed-in sintered glass or removable stainless steel mesh supports for the
membrane. Syringe and inline filters are also available. Large diameter membranes are typically used in pressure holders.
(3) (4)
Selecting the right filter
The selection of a laboratory filter depends on the conditions and objectives of the experiment or analytical procedure. The three
most important characteristics of any laboratory filter are:
• Particle retention efficiency
• Fluid flow rate through the filter
• Loading capacity
In addition, according to the particular application, other important characteristics may require examination. For instance, wet
strength, chemical resistance, purity and ash level may assume equal importance under certain circumstances.
Examples of Filter Holders
The vacuum level placed across a filter will influence the flow rate; however, it is not a linear relationship. For example, for depth
filters, it has been found that when the vacuum increases over about 5 cm Hg, no significant increase in flow rate occurs. Generally,
the optimum vacuum level is between 2–5 cm Hg. The type of support under the filter can also play a significant role in the level of
vacuum that can be applied to a fibrous material.
