Whatman™ Grade 42 Quantitative Ashless Filter Papers
Manufacturer: VWR International
Description
The filter’s core strength lies in its commitment to purity and precision. Its extremely low ash content (0.007% maximum) is essential for obtaining accurate weight measurements in combusted samples. While its Fine Porosity results in a Slow Flow Rate (1870 s Herzberg), this is the necessary trade-off for capturing the smallest particulates. The high purity also makes it suitable for processes that require ashing and for preparing samples for sensitive instrumental analysis where large particles must be eliminated.
Features:
- Finest particle retention (2.5 µm) of all Whatman™ ashless filter paper grades
- Extremely low ash content (0.007% maximum) for critical gravimetric analysis
- Ideal for precipitates with tendencies toward colloidal dispersion (e.g., Barium Sulfate)
- Used for sample preparation prior to sensitive instrumental analysis
- Fine porosity and slow flow rate, suitable for gravity or low suction filtration
- Commonly used as a calcium carbonate filter
