Product Description

OMICRON® Glass Fiber filters are manufactured from pure Borosilicate Glass Fibers and is available in a wide range of nominal pore sizes. These filters have extremely low-pressure drop, making them an excellent choice as a pre-filter for fluids that have high viscous and high dust holding capacity. Target applications include salt, sugar, sera, tissue lysates, protein solutions, and environmental samples, like soil and ground water, where there is an elevated level of suspended or un-dissloved particles. The production process of OMICRON® Glass Fiber Filters has been validated with an accredited registered body to ISO 9001:2015 Quality System Standards.
