Description
Immersion filter Ø 20 mm, Por. 3 is a laboratory immersion filter fabricated from borosilicate 3.3 glass and equipped with a VitraPOR® filter plate of porosity 3. Measuring 20 mm in diameter and 150 mm in overall height, the filter is shaped for direct immersion into sample vessels. Borosilicate 3.3 glass supplies the chemical durability and thermal stability characteristic of this material in standard laboratory environments. The VitraPOR® sintered glass plate with porosity grade 3 provides a defined pore structure for filtration and clarification duties. Offered as a single piece from manufacturer ROBU - Stereon, the immersion filter facilitates straightforward solid-liquid separation without additional funnel assemblies in many dipping applications. Porosity 3 is typically chosen when a finer retention level than porosity 2 is required while still maintaining practical flow. The compact cylindrical design integrates easily into existing glassware systems used in research, quality-control and educational laboratories. These filters support reproducible immersion filtration steps as part of routine sample preparation and analytical workflows.

Questions about Immersion Filter, Ø 20 mm, Por. 3
What is this article?
Immersion Filter, Ø 20 mm, Por. 3 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes ROBU - Stereon for laboratory use. It sits in Sintered glass filter plates & discs, inside Filtration, in Lab consumables.
A sintered glass filter is a disc of fused glass particles with a porosity grade, often 0 to 5, from coarse to fine. It is cleaned and reused. The porosity number, not a micrometre guess, is the specification. Hydrofluoric acid and strong alkali attack the glass.
Filtration holds back what is larger than the pores and lets the rest through. Paper is the ordinary laboratory filter. A membrane has a stated pore size and a polymer that must survive the solvent. A syringe filter is that membrane in a housing on a syringe. Glass fibre takes a higher dirt load. Ultrafiltration holds back macromolecules and passes salts. The pore size, the chemical compatibility and the volume are the three choices. Laboratory apparatus around filtration is indexed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
