Filtration
The process by which particles are removed from a fluid by passing it through a permeable material.
FAQ Filtration is the process by which particles are removed from a fluid by passing it through permeable material. Filtration should yield a sample free from insoluble particles, ready for analysis without negatively impacting the instrumentation. Filters capable of handling samples with a high particulate content simplify this process. As filtration is known as the separation of solid particles from a gas or liquid by passing through a substance, the separation of particles into different size classes is usually required for the particle size assessment.
