Testing Compatibilities of Filter Media with Liquids

For a nice overview of some basic questions to ask before you select your liquid filtration medium, take a look at this two page paper from the American Filtration & Separations Society. It starts with clear definitions of permeability and efficiency, and then segues into the importance of compatibility between the filter material and the liquid. One of their good points worth repeating here is that for many types of sampling there are pre-existing industrial or organizational standards to guide you. With most of our membrane, syringe, and capsule filters, you can find this information under the “Application” tab for a particular item. Our

resources section

is another good place to research this information. Want more help? You can always ask one of our technical personnel for added assurance. Read the complete AFS guide here.
