Cellulose filters are used in qualitative analytical techniques to determine and identify materials.
Prepleated qualitative filters are available, which give improved flow rate and increased loading capacity compared to equivalent flat filters.

Extremely fast filtering with excellent retention of coarse particles and gelatinous
precipitates such as ferric hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide.
Very useful as a rapid filter for routine clean-up of biological fluids or organic extracts during analysis.
Used when high flow rates in air pollution monitoring are required and the collection of fine particles is not critical.
Available prepleated as Grade 4V.
Grade 3: 6 μm, (Medium flow, thick filter paper)
Double the thickness of Grade 1 with still finer particle retention and excellent loading capacity; more precipitate can be held without clogging.
The extra thickness gives increased wet strength and makes this grade highly suitable for use in Büchner funnels.
The high absorbency is particularly valuable when the paper is used as a sample carrier.
Grade 41: 20 μm*
The fastest ashless filter paper, recommended for analytical procedures involving coarse particles or gelatinous precipitates (e.g. iron or aluminum hydroxides).
Also used in quantitative air pollution analysis as a paper tape for impregnation when
determining gaseous compounds at high flow rates.
Grade 50: 2.7 μm*
Retention of very fine crystalline precipitates.
The thinnest of all Whatman filter papers with a slow flow rate, these filters have a hardened and highly glazed surface, which also keeps the paper free from loose surface fibers.
Highly suitable for
qualitative or quantitative filtrations requiring vacuum assistance on Büchner
or 3-piece filter funnels.
Very strong when wet and will withstand wet handling and
precipitate removal by scraping.
In the electronics industry, the virtual absence of
fiber shedding is utilized in carriers for integrated circuits.
This grade is also available in Smear Tab format for wipe testing (e.g. testing of
surfaces for radionuclide contamination).
