Product information "Macherey-Nagel glass fibre filter paper circles MN 85/90 with binder, 0.5 µm (Ø 25–320 mm), 150 mm"
Macherey-Nagel MN 85/90 glass fibre filter circles, of established premium quality, represent a system solution optimised in terms of materials science and offering high mechatronic stability for demanding clarification, particle separation and sample preparation in modern day-to-day laboratory work. Available in a wide, application-specific range of diameters, from 25 mm for compact in-line filtration systems up to large-area 320 mm for high-volume funnel and suction filter set-ups. This series caters for all scales of analytical and process engineering applications. As a glass fibre filter for general laboratory applications, this filter medium is used wherever good filtration kinetics must be combined with high mechanical strength in order to separate particle-rich media in a way that is gentle on the material and process-reliable.
Outstanding mechanical stability thanks to organic binders
The unique technological feature of the MN 85/90 grade is based on the targeted combination of high-purity borosilicate glass microfibres with a specialised organic binder. Whilst binder-free glass fibre filters may be prone to fibre shedding under intense fluid-mechanical stress or strong mechanical shearing, the binder matrix permanently stabilises the fibre structure. This gives the smooth filter paper circle remarkable tear resistance and inherent stability when wet. With a filter thickness of 0.6 mm and a defined grammage of 90 grams per square metre (90 g/m²), the filter’s three-dimensional depth structure remains dimensionally stable even under high filtration pressure, which prevents filter breakthrough.
Highly efficient separation and rapid filtration kinetics
From a metrological perspective, the MN 85/90 filter offers an average retention capacity of 0.5 micrometres. This fine pore structure makes the filter medium well suited to the reliable separation of the finest precipitates, microparticles and macromolecular aggregates. Despite this high retention capacity, the high porosity of the glass fibre fleece ensures a remarkable hydrodynamic flow rate: with a typical filtration speed of 15 seconds, flow resistance is minimised, thereby significantly speeding up time-critical routine analyses and high-throughput filtration. Undesirable clogging effects (blocking) in heavily particle-laden sample flows, such as wastewater or sludge samples, are reduced in a way that is gentle on the material.
Thermal resistance and comprehensive quality management
The thermodynamic limit of the MN 85/90 filter is set at a maximum temperature of 200 °C due to the organic binder component. Up to this threshold, the material remains structurally stable, chemically inert and colourfast (pure white). The filter’s smooth surface prevents irreversible adsorption of sample components and allows for residue-free handling. For laboratory managers and quality management officers in regulated environments, Macherey-Nagel offers a basis for recurring testing processes with this series.

Individual requirements & accessories
To ensure the optimal integration of Macherey-Nagel glass fibre filters into your daily laboratory routine, we offer suitable accessories. For classic vacuum or Büchner filtration, our portfolio includes robust porcelain Büchner funnels, suitable suction flasks made from thick-walled borosilicate glass, and complete multiple filtration units made from stainless steel. For contamination-free and gentle handling of the sensitive filter discs, we recommend the use of flat, rounded filter tweezers made from high-alloy, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. For subsequent drying processes until a constant weight is achieved at temperatures of up to 200 °C, we also offer chemically inert Petri dishes and desiccators. Please make use of our technical procurement service to design your filtration workstations to suit your specific requirements.
