Filter selection: A simple path to increased air monitoring efficiency
24 Oct 2022From the substance of interest and air type classification, to the requirement to meet regional and setting-specific regulations, the complex world of air monitoring gives laboratories a million and one things to think about. But plans to drive efficiency can receive a significant boost via optimization of filter selection. In this application note, Cytiva describes how to match the filter to the process, wherever in the air monitoring ecosystem you work.

FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.
