Type of Filter
Depth Filter :
commonly
used to remove
high
dirt
contamination, such as for the first filtration
process.
• Pall’s Depth Filter provide a wide range of pore
size that would be compatible for a broad
spectrum of sample. The membrane of filter can
be double or single layer, but for the better
performances we suggested to used double
layer.
• The membrane is thicker than the “normal”
filter.
