Ahlstrom 9610-2400 Wet-Strengthened Qualitative Filter Paper 24cm 40µm

Description

Product Overview

The Ahlstrom 9610-2400 wet‑strengthened qualitative filter paper is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments. Constructed from high‑purity cellulose fibers, the paper delivers a uniform 40 µm pore structure that captures fine particulates while allowing rapid flow of liquids. Its 24 cm diameter format fits standard filtration apparatus, reducing the need for adapters and minimizing setup time. The low ash content of 0.06 % ensures that the filter does not introduce contaminants that could skew analytical results, making it an ideal choice for qualitative analysis where precision is paramount.

Beyond its technical specifications, the filter paper is supplied in bulk packaging, providing laboratories with a cost‑effective solution that maintains consistent performance across large batches. The untreated nature of the material preserves its natural absorbency and chemical inertness, allowing it to be used with a wide range of solvents and reagents without risk of unwanted reactions. This combination of size, pore precision, and material purity positions the Ahlstrom 9610-2400 as a reliable workhorse for scientists seeking dependable filtration outcomes.

Usage

Designed for qualitative laboratory filtration, this filter paper excels in applications such as precipitation tests, gravimetric analysis, and sample preparation for spectroscopy. Its robust wet‑strengthened construction enables it to retain structural integrity even when exposed to high moisture levels, preventing tearing or disintegration during prolonged filtration cycles. Researchers working in environmental testing, pharmaceutical development, and academic research can rely on the paper to deliver clean, particle‑free filtrates essential for accurate downstream measurements.

The 24 cm diameter format aligns with standard Buchner funnel setups, vacuum filtration stations, and gravity‑driven filtration rigs. Users can easily stack multiple sheets for increased loading capacity or employ a single sheet for rapid, low‑volume filtrations. The filter’s compatibility with both aqueous and organic solvents expands its utility across diverse experimental protocols, from simple water‑based assays to complex organic extractions.

FAQ

What is the recommended flow rate for this filter paper?

The Ahlstrom 9610-2400 performs optimally at flow rates between 0.5 and 2 mL min⁻¹ under vacuum conditions. Adjusting the flow within this range helps maintain uniform filtration and prevents premature clogging.

Can this filter paper be used with organic solvents?

Yes, the untreated cellulose fibers are chemically inert and compatible with most organic solvents, including ethanol, acetone, and hexane. However, it is advisable to test a small sample first to confirm solvent compatibility with your specific application.

How does the low ash content benefit my analysis?

Low ash content reduces the risk of introducing extraneous mineral residues into the filtrate, which can interfere with gravimetric measurements, spectroscopic readings, and other analytical techniques that are sensitive to trace contaminants.

Is the filter paper suitable for high‑temperature filtration?

The wet‑strengthened paper retains its structural integrity up to temperatures of approximately 80 °C. For applications requiring higher temperatures, consider using a heat‑resistant filter material specifically designed for such conditions.
