Hard-to-filter samples are prepared more
rapidly
Whatman has introduced a new disposable syringe filter that has been designed to prepare hard-to-filter samples more quickly
Whatman's GD/X disposable syringe filters are ideal for viscous and high particle loaded samples Four layers of different filters reduce blocking of the filter unit and the need to change the syringe filter during filtration

Compared with other conventional syringe filters, GD/X units can process three to seven times more sample volume.
The novel arrangement of the pre-filter stack additionally lowers by a significant amount the hand force needed to clear even hard-to-filter samples.
This offers more safety for the user as it avoids overstraining the hand and the risk of bursting the housing by applying too much pressure to the filter unit in order to force the filtration process.
GD/X filter units are offered with membranes made of Nylon, PVDF, PTFE, PES, Cellulose Acetate and Polypropylene and are, therefore, suitable for nearly any kind of aqueous and organic samples.
The GD/X family is available in pore sizes of 0.2 and 0.
45um.
Convince yourself of the exceptional performance of Whatman's GD/X filter unit and ask for detailed information or a test set.
Applications for the GD/X disposable syringe filters include any hard-to-filter heavily particulate laden samples such as: - Dissolution testing.
- Content uniformity.
- Concentration analysis.
- Routine sample preparation.
- Food analysis.
- Environmental samples.
- Composite assay.
