FilterMate
TM
Filtration Systems For Use With SC475 Digestion Vessels
Dirty or particulate-laden samples may require that the digested sample be ltered
prior to analysis. This is especially true with sludge, wastewater and soil samples.
FilterMate™ Systems provide a convenient and inexpensive method of ltration that
requires no transfer steps. The FilterMate™ ts directly into the digestion cup and is pushed
through the liquid being ltered to the bottom of the cup with a detachable plunger. After
the ltration is complete, the plunger is removed and discarded while the lter assembly
remains in the bottom of the cup. This arrangement does not interfere with storage or use
of the cup in an autosampler.
FilterMates are available with different choices of lters:
SC0401 — Standard 2μm PTFE-faced Polypropylene Filter
The popular SC0401 has the highest dirt holding capacity. This is the
most popular and is suitable for most laboratory applications.
SC0408 — Certied 2μm PTFE Filter
The SC0408 FilterMate™ utilizes a pure expanded ber PTFE lter. This
high dirt trapping FilterMate™ is especially suitable for trace level analysis
and is supplied with lot certication for trace metals by ICP/MS.
SC0407 — 0.45μm PTFE Membrane Filter
The SC0407 FilterMate™ uses a PTFE prelter in addition to a 0.45μm nal lter.
This model is not recommended for particulate laden samples.
SC0404 — 0.7μm Glass Fiber FilterMate™ for TCLP
For ltering small volumes of TCLP extract, we offer the SC0404 FilterMate™ with acid-washed glass ber lter material
suitable for TCLP ltrations. The 0.7μm lter is supported by a porous polyethylene frit.
