Omicron 131047 Borosilicate Glass Fiber Filter 1.0 Micron 47mm

Description

Product Overview

The Omicron 131047 Borosilicate Glass Fiber Filter is engineered for laboratory environments that demand high‑precision particulate removal. Constructed from premium borosilicate glass fiber, the filter media offers exceptional chemical resistance and structural integrity, ensuring consistent performance even under aggressive cleaning protocols. Each filter measures 47mm in diameter and provides a nominal pore size of 1.0 micron, delivering reliable capture of sub‑micron particles while maintaining low pressure drop across the media. The binder‑free design eliminates potential sources of contamination, making the filter suitable for sensitive analytical techniques such as liquid scintillation counting (LSC). Certified by Omicron Scientific, the filter meets stringent quality standards and is listed as a top‑ranked product in the Glass Fiber Lab Filters category on major e‑commerce platforms.

Usage

Designed for researchers, quality control laboratories, and industrial testing facilities, this filter excels in applications where fine particulate quantification is critical. It can be employed directly in LSC workflows to remove turbidity and particulate interference, thereby enhancing counting efficiency and data reliability. Additionally, the filter serves as an effective pre‑filter for membrane‑based filtration systems, extending membrane life by intercepting larger debris before the sample reaches the final filtration stage. Its high DOP retention (99.8%) and ability to operate at temperatures up to 5000°C make it suitable for high‑temperature synthesis, combustion analysis, and other processes that generate fine aerosol or particulate streams. The compact 47mm format integrates seamlessly with standard filter holders, syringe filters, and custom filtration rigs.

FAQ

What is the recommended pre‑filtering method when using this filter with membrane filtration?

Place the Omicron 131047 filter upstream of the membrane filter in the fluid path. This arrangement captures larger particles and debris, reducing membrane fouling and extending its service life.

Can the filter be sterilized for reuse in sterile applications?

Yes, the borosilicate glass fiber construction tolerates autoclave cycles up to 121 °C without compromising pore integrity, allowing limited reuse after proper cleaning and drying.

How does the filter perform in high‑temperature environments?

The filter is rated for temperatures up to 5000 °C, making it suitable for high‑temperature synthesis, combustion sampling, and other processes where conventional polymer filters would degrade.

Is the filter compatible with standard 47mm filter holders?

Absolutely. The 47mm diameter conforms to industry‑standard filter housings, syringe adapters, and custom rigs, ensuring easy integration into existing laboratory setups.

What is the typical pressure drop across the filter at a flow rate of 10 mL/min?

At 10 mL/min, the pressure drop is typically less than 0.5 psi, providing efficient filtration without imposing excessive back‑pressure on pumps or syringes.
