Ahlstrom Qualitative Filter Paper 6090-1500 15cm 4 Micron Medium Flow

Description

Product Overview

The Ahlstrom 6090-1500 qualitative filter paper is engineered for laboratories that demand precise, reproducible separations while maintaining the highest standards of chemical purity. Constructed from more than 95 percent super refined alpha‑cellulose and linter fibers, this filter paper provides a uniform pore structure of 4 microns, delivering a medium flow rate that balances speed and retention efficiency. Its low iron and nitrogen content makes it especially suitable for sensitive analytical procedures, such as protein quantification in beer, where trace contaminants could skew results. The 15 cm diameter format conforms to standard quadrant‑folded holders, allowing seamless integration into existing filtration setups without the need for additional adapters or modifications.

Beyond its core specifications, the 6090-1500 grade incorporates an evolution of Ahlstrom’s historic 613 series, refined specifically for the brewing industry’s stringent quality requirements. The paper’s robust mechanical strength ensures that it can withstand the rigors of gravity‑flow applications while preserving the integrity of the sample matrix. Each pack contains 100 sheets, each weighing just 0.16 ounces, making storage and handling straightforward while providing ample supply for high‑throughput environments. The product’s dimensions—6.14 × 6.14 × 1.18 inches—fit comfortably on laboratory benches, and the packaging is designed to protect the sheets from moisture and static buildup, preserving performance over extended shelf life.

Usage

In routine laboratory separations, the Ahlstrom 6090-1500 filter paper excels in applications that require both high purity and consistent flow characteristics. It is ideal for gravity‑driven filtration processes, where the medium flow rate reduces processing time without compromising the capture of fine particulates. Researchers conducting protein analysis in beer benefit from the paper’s exceptionally low iron content, which minimizes interference in spectrophotometric assays and mass spectrometry readings. The filter’s compatibility with standard quadrant‑folded holders means it can be employed across a wide range of filtration apparatuses, from simple funnel setups to more sophisticated vacuum filtration systems, providing flexibility for diverse experimental protocols.

Beyond the brewing sector, this filter paper is well‑suited for environmental testing, pharmaceutical quality control, and academic research where the detection of trace contaminants is critical. Its super‑refined cellulose matrix offers excellent chemical resistance, allowing it to be used with a variety of solvents and reagents without degradation. The consistent pore size ensures reproducible results across multiple runs, making it a reliable choice for method validation and standard operating procedures. Whether filtering aqueous solutions, organic extracts, or complex mixtures, the 6090-1500 delivers dependable performance that supports accurate data collection and regulatory compliance.
