Overview
Whatman™ Polycap GW (Ground Water) capsule filters from Cytiva are specifically designed for sample preparation of ground water samples for dissolved metals analysis. The in-line design with stepped hose barbs and hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane make it easy to use for field sampling.
- Stepped hose barb fittings allow for connection directly to outlet of a sampling pump with various size tubing
- Effective filtration surface area of 600 cm² to ensure rapid sample collection
- PES filters in thermally fused housing eliminate sample contamination that could come from glues, adhesives, metals, epoxies, or extraneous materials
- Lot number printed on each unit for traceability supports use in regulated field sampling methods such as EPA Method 3005 for ground water analysis
- Well suited for ground water sampling as a dissolved metals filter
PES filter for ground water sampling
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other environmental protection agencies have protocols specifying support of ground water sampling with a 0.45 µm filter prior to analyzing dissolved or suspended metals (EPA Method 3005).
Whatman™ Polycap GW PES filter capsules support dissolved metals filtering during field sampling and can be connected directly to a sampling pump. These filters are appropriate for use in EPA methods that specify use of a 0.45 µm filter.
