QUANTITATIVE FILTER PAPERS

Quantitative filter papers are recommended for quantitative analysis. As quantitative analysis requires a high puri-
ty, quantitative papers are washed out with acid.
We offer two grades of quantitative filter papers ashless and ashless hardened. Our ashless grades are made for
100% cotton linters with an ash content of 0,007%. The ashless hardened grades are made of pure cellulose with
an alpha cellulose content of almost 100%. The ashless hardened grades are wetstrengthened.

GENERAL PURPOSE FILTER PAPERS


These papers are made for general purpose filtration. Their ash content is so low that they can be used for ordi-
nary qualitative filtrations. They are filter papers for a variety of different applications with very different basis
weights. The development of these papers was keyed particularly to their final use. This is documented by the
different surface structures. The papers are made of very pure cellulose with an high alpha cellulose content.
Average ash content of the these filter papers is 0.1%.

BLOTTING MEMBRANES
LABORATORY FILTRATION

NITROCELLULOSE has a very favourable combination of high protein binding and low background. If you also
add its ease of wetting you can easily understand its popularity in blotting techniques.
Our 0.2 m membrane is the standard material for protein blotting. The 0.45 m membrane is commonly used for
nucleic transfers and colony/plaque transfers.
For multiple reprobing of nucleic acid blots SUPPORTED NITROCELLULOSE (NC-Support) is the best choice as
standard nitrocellulose has a limited physical strength. The polyester support does not have any effect on the
wetting and binding charateristics. NC-Support is also preferred for repeated colony transfers and UV-crosslinking
of DNA.
The POLYAMIDE MEMBRANES are normally used for transfer and immobilization of nucleic acids.

The theoretical basis for determining pH values
For the chemist, determining the concentation of
hydrogen ions (H+) is of extreme importance, because
the progress, balance and speed of very many reac-
tions largely depend on it.
Hydrogen-ion concentration is also of interest to bio-
logists, the medical profession and to technicians,
because, on the one hand. H+-ions may be involved in
reactions under the physiological conditions in which
biological processes occur, or may act as their
catalysts, and, on the other, hydrogenion concentration
has an important part to play in other areas such as
corrosion, for example.
Applying the law of mass action to the dissociation of
water gives us:
[H+] [OH]
(1) K = or (2) [H+] [OH] = K [H2O] = 10 14 (at 20C)
[H2O]
This equation applies to perfectly dilute solutions. Hence, the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in
water is 10 7 = 1
n
10.000.000
In 1912, Srensen introduced the pH value as the negative decadic logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration.
The following equation applies:
(3) pH = lg [H+]
The acidic and basic properties of aqueous solutions are defined by the following parameters:
acidic solutions [H+] > 10 7 mol/l; pH < 7
neutral solutions [H+] = 10 7 mol/l; pH = 7
basic solutions [H+] < 10 7 mol/l; pH > 7

CELLULOSE NITRATE MEMBRANE FILTERS

LABORATORY FILTRATION
Cellulose ester membrane filters are used in a wide variety of analy-
tical and laboratory procedures that require filtration. The cellulose
nitrate membrane filters is hydrophilic and has uniform pore sturctu-
re over a wide range of pore sizes and therefore is recommended for
sample pretreatment, particle testing and removal.
These membranes have a high non-specific adsorption
which makes them suitable for many blotting procedures
and for diagnostic kits. The adsorption decrease with
increasing pore size.
Sterile individually packed membrane filters are standard
for routine microbiological quality control. Filter identifi-
cation and lot number are printed on each individual
envelope. In our production each membrane and envelope
is checked.
All gridded membranes are made of cellulose nitrate, which assures excellent retention and colony growth. The
grid size is 3.1 x 3.1 mm and can be supplied in black, white and green grid. White membranes with black grid
and green membranes with dark green grid is used for colony counts. Gray/black membranes with white grid is
used for detection of yeasts and moulds. White membranes with green grid ist used for E.coli and coliforms.
In our programme you can also find gridded and sterile membranes with a pink-coloured hydrophobic edge for
sterility testing.
We also offer non-sterile gridded membranes in standard packs for particle counting and microscopy.

PTFE HYDROPHOBIC MEMBRANE FILTERS

LABORATORY FILTRATION
The PTFE membrane filter is naturally and permanently
hydrophobic. It permit the passage of air and gases and it
does not become blocked with humidity. If it should be
used for filtration of aqueous solutions, it must be pre-
wetted with a solvent before water passage can occur.
PTFE membrane filters are ideal for venting applications,

NYLON MEMBRANE FILTERS


LABORATORY FILTRATION

Nylon membrane are both hydrophilic and chemically resi-


stant to most bases which makes them very suitable as
particle-removing or sterilizing filters for alkaline solutions.

Good compatibility with many solvents and aqueous sam-


ples makes them an economical choice for clarification of
the mobile phases for HPLC.

The high adsorption and good mechanical strength makes


them useful for blotting techniques, such as transfer and
immobilization for nucleic acids.

For applications such as sterilizing filtration of tissue cul-


ture solutions they are not recommended. For such appli-
cations you should use cellulose acetate membranes.

GLASS FIBRE PREFILTERS

LABORATORY FILTRATION
In general glass fibre filters have an open structure with a
large available surface area and filter depth. Compared
with a membrane they have a high dirt-loading capacity.
Because of the high dirtloading capacity they are often
used to protect membrane filters, giving an excellent
throughput and absolute retention.

We offer three different grades with and without binder.


Filters without binder are recommended for analytical and
gravimetric analysis, and for the prefiltration of relative
clean solutions such as tissue culture media.

MICRO FILTRATION

CELLULOSE ACETATE CAPSULES

LABORATORY FILTRATION
Our capsule filters are ready to connect and to use
pre-tested, complete filters. They can be rinsed after
use re-autoclaved and re-used if the application
allows. The cellulose acetate membrane is pleated
inside the polypropylene housing. The housing con-
tains two membrane filters. The first membrane acts
as a prefilter to the finer seond membrane.

We offer four different types of connectors and three


different sizes

P hose nipple inlet and oulet


P sanitory flange inlet and outlet
P sanitory flange inlet, hose nipple outlet
P G 3/8 male thread inlet, hose nipple outlet

PTFE CAPSULES
LABORATORY FILTRATION

High air flow rates of the membrane and large filtration area allow effective sterile venting at low differential pres-
sure.
As PTFE is extremely hydrophobic we guarantee maximum reliability even when filtering moist air.
Each capsule is a ready to use, pre-tested, complete filter. The pleated PTFE membrane ensures maximal filtration
area.
We offer two different connectors and three different sizes

P Capsules with inlet and outlet hose nipples


P Capsules with inlet and oulet sanitary flanges
P Filtration areas 0.05 0.1 0.2 m2
For the filtration of those acids, bases and non-aqueous solvents for which our cellulose acetate capsules can not
be used PTFE capsules is an excellent choice.

NUTRI CULT

CULTURE MEDIA IN PETRI DISHES


LABORATORY FILTRATION

In order to avoid time-consuming and extensive preparation of culture media you should use NUTRI CULT.

Our NUTRI CULT is an absorbent pad which has been impregnated with a culture medium, then dried and
sterilized in Petri dishes.

They are available with 6 different media and are supplied in sets, which also contains sterile-individually packed
membrane filters. The membrane is of course chosen for optimum colony growth and colony counting.

The shelf life of the NUTRI CULT is 9 to 24 months, depending to type of medium.

safety point of view, e.g. cleanliness and heavy weights to lift,
this method is widely preferred before the conventional
method of growing in sand. It also requires much less space.
