Glass vacuum filter holders are available in two types
which differ only in the filter support, which is a PTFE
ring. This ring contains either a glass frit or a PTFE-
coated stainless steel screen and an underdrain screen.
The filter supports may only be changed as a unit.
Because of the particularly even distribution of parti-
culates of the membrane filter surface, filter supports
with glass frits are preferred for use in particulate
analysis.
Filter supports with a PTFE-coated screen are mainly
used for clarifying or sterile filtration of liter volumes.
