Whatman™ Grade 3 Qualitative Cellulose Filter Papers
Manufacturer: VWR International
Description
The filter’s core strength is its excellent loading capacity—double the thickness of Grade 1—which prevents clogging and ensures a higher throughput of samples. It has a nominal particle retention of 6 µm, providing a strong balance of medium flow rate and fine particle collection. The extra thickness and increased wet strength make it a reliable choice for separating difficult solids. For enhanced convenience, the Grade 3 paper is also available in prepleated and disposable FilterCup formats.
Features:
- Moderately thick (double the thickness of Grade 1) for excellent loading capacity
- Highly suitable for use in Buchner funnels due to increased wet strength
- Medium porosity and medium flow rate for general qualitative analytical separations
- Nominal particle retention of 6 µm for fine particle collection
- Highly absorbent, making it valuable for use as a sample carrier
- Available in prepleated and FilterCup formats for high-volume convenience
