This laboratory membrane filter is constructed from high-borosilicate glass for chemically demanding sample preparation. Its glass flow path minimizes the introduction of metal ions into high-purity samples. The transparent construction allows direct observation of flow, bubbles, color changes, and particulate accumulation. Glass-fiber membranes or integrated sintered-glass plates can be selected as the filtration medium. The system can be used for gravity filtration or connected to a vacuum source for accelerated processing. Smooth inert surfaces reduce sample adsorption and support recovery of valuable or trace-level materials. High thermal resistance allows drying, heating, and selected regeneration procedures at elevated temperatures. The filter is suitable for strong acids, many organic solvents, high-purity reagents, and analytical samples, excluding incompatible chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid. Typical uses include trace-element analysis, chromatography sample preparation, gravimetric analysis, chemical clarification, and high-temperature fluid filtration.
