What is Laboratory Filtration?

Laboratory filtration is a physical process used to separate a solid from a liquid and is a process encountered in experimental procedures such as recrystallization, gravimetric analysis, and solvent drying. A mixture of solid and liquid passes through filter paper, porous materials, and sintered glass, and as the liquid passes, the solid is trapped in the filter paper. It is performed using various filters, such as a syringe, membrane, and vacuum filters. Laboratory filtration is required for various applications, such as bulk pharmaceutical manufacturing, liquid dispensing, sterile products, liquid dispensing, virus removal, drug discovery and development, research laboratories, microbial analysis, and water purification treatment plans across the globe.
