8 x 12 Filtermat A, GF/C are used for multiple applications because they are binder-free, provide high loading capacity, and can efficiently retain fine particulates, while also maintaining a fast flow rate and fine particle retention.
Material: These filters are made from borosilicate glass, which gives them a high loading capacity and the ability to withstand temperatures up to 550 °C. They are also binder-free, which means they don't contain any chemical additives that could interfere with the analysis.
Filtration: GF/C filters are known for their fine particle retention, typically around 1.2 µm, while still maintaining a good flow rate. This makes them highly effective for clarifying aqueous liquids that contain low to medium levels of fine particulates.
Primary applications:
- Radiometric assays: compatible with instruments like the MicroBeta plate reader for radiometric detection.
- Cell proliferation studies: suitable for general use in studies involving labeled cells.
- Liquid scintillation counting: high absorbency and ability to retain fine particulates make them ideal for this application.
- Binding assays: Commonly used in binding assays and TCA precipitation
