Understanding Filtration Consumables - Filter Paper
Laboratory filter paper is a specialised porous material used to separate solids from liquids through the process of filtration. Available in various grades, thicknesses, and pore sizes, filter paper is designed to meet specific filtration needs, making it ideal for applications in chemistry, biology, and environmental science. It effectively captures particles, sediments, and precipitates while allowing clear liquids to pass through, ensuring the purity of the filtrate. Commonly used in techniques such as gravity filtration, vacuum filtration, and qualitative analysis, filter paper is a fundamental consumable in laboratories. Its versatility and ease of use make it an essential tool for obtaining accurate results in experiments, sample preparation, and environmental testing.
