LGFK - Micro Glas Fiber Cartridge

Brand GlassFil
Media: Liquids
Micron Ratings: 0.1 to 5 µm
Filter Type: Granular Media

Masterfilter LGFK cartridge filters are made with superfine glass fiber media with polypropylene support and drainage layers. The core and cage are also in polypropylene while all material components are thermal bonded without the use of any adhesive or binder. This reduces at a very low level the extractables. GFK filter cartridges are specially drawn up to meet the requirement for many filtration applications in the traditional Pharma and Biological markets. The most common and appropriate are haze removal, submicron contaminants from blood and biotech, culture media and aqueous solutions.
