Macherey-Nagel filter paper circles MN 619 qualitative, slow-filtering, smooth (Ø 55–500 mm), 320 mm

Product information "Macherey-Nagel filter paper circles MN 619 qualitative, slow-filtering, smooth (Ø 55–500 mm), 320 mm"

The Macherey-Nagel MN 619 filter paper circles represent a structurally optimised and process-proven system solution for qualitative filtration in everyday laboratory work. Available in a wide range of diameters, from 55 mm for compact standard funnels up to 500 mm for high-volume separation processes, this filter series caters for every scale in chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, environmental analysis and industrial quality control. Wherever fine-particle suspensions need to be clarified or demanding samples prepared, this slow-filtration quality enables gentle, particle-free and process-reliable working.

Maximum particle retention thanks to a dense fibre structure

The technological foundation of the MN 619 filter paper circles is based on refined cellulose and linter fibres, which are processed into a homogeneous, close-meshed structure. The slow filtration speed of around 100 seconds (according to the manufacturer’s specifications), from which the filter takes its name, results from the high density of the pore structure. This geometric structure ensures that even fine crystalline precipitates and microparticles are reliably retained on the filter surface. The risk of a transient particle flow through the filter medium is thus effectively minimised, which reliably safeguards the validity of subsequent qualitative analyses.

Smooth surface geometry for residue-free separation

From a materials science perspective, the completely smooth surface of the filter paper circle offers significant functional advantages in sample preparation. Unlike creped variants, fine precipitates on the smooth structure do not tend to become lodged in fibre recesses. This noticeably facilitates the subsequent mechanical removal or washing out of the filter cake. Furthermore, the material is characterised by high purity and a low ash content for qualitative filter papers, thereby gently preventing unwanted chemical interactions with the sample medium or solvent extractions.

High wet strength for reproducible laboratory processes

Despite being based on pure cellulose without synthetic stabilisers, the MN 619 filter paper circles exhibit remarkable inherent mechanical stability when wet. The three-dimensional depth structure remains completely dimensionally stable even under the hydrostatic pressure of a fully filled funnel. For laboratory managers and quality management personnel in regulated environments, Macherey-Nagel offers, with this standardised fibre grade, a documentation basis for recurring routine filtrations in GLP environments.

Individual requirements & accessories

To ensure the optimal integration of Macherey-Nagel filter paper circles into your daily laboratory routine, we offer a comprehensive range of complementary accessories. For standard filtration, our portfolio includes robust glass funnels, polypropylene funnels, as well as suitable laboratory stands and funnel holders. For contamination-free and gentle handling of the wet filter paper circles, we recommend the use of flat-tipped filter tweezers made from high-alloy, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. For subsequent drying or storage processes, we also offer chemically inert Petri dishes, watch glasses and desiccators. Please make use of our technical procurement service to design your filtration workstations to suit your specific requirements.
