Ahlstrom offers a full range of glass microfiber filters manufactured from 100% pure borosilicate glass. Because of their intrinsic properties, glass microfiber filters have wide applications in many areas of laboratory analysis, especially when fine filtration and high loading capacity is required. Applications for Ahlstrom glass microfiber filters include environmental analysis for water, wastewater, testing of soils, air pollution and monitoring, research and process biochemistry, and gravimetric analysis involving ignition of samples. Ahlstrom glass microfiber filters are also found in the filtration of hot gases and liquids, and in pre-filtration.

Standard Glass Microfiber Filters
Standard glass microfiber filters contain no binders or other additives that may cause interference to sensitive enzymatic or other chemical reactions. The unique characteristics of glass microfiber filters make its use particularly advantageous to laboratory filtration by enabling fast filtration of large volumes and difficult solutions without premature clogging.
Ahlstrom 141: 3.1µm – Fast Speed
This grade offers better filtration speed and a higher loading capacity than an analytical filter paper of similar particle retention. Ahlstrom 141 is particularly recommended for pre-filtration of membrane filters and is also used in combination with Ahlstrom 121 as a highly efficient protective and retentive grade density pre-filter for membrane filters.
