Variety of pore sizes and membrane types for prefiltration and clarification. Meets virtually all aqueous sample filtration needs. Widely used in dissolution testing. The GxF multi-layered prefilter provides two to four times the throughput of standard glass fiber prefilter devices, allowing for quick and easy filtration of your most difficult-to-filter samples. Glass fiber reduces clogging. Use alone or in series with final membrane filter to increase flow rate and throughput. Large, 37 mm size filters very dirty samples.
