Whatman chromatography papers are the most widely used papers for chromatography worldwide. This acceptance and usage reflect the purity, high quality, and consistency of Whatman papers. These qualities are relied upon by chromatographers and are essential to successful, reproducible chromatography. Whatman chromatography paper media are made from specially selected cotton cellulose. They are rigorously quality controlled for characteristics important to the chromatographer and to ensure uniformity within the grade. The chromatography paper product line includes standard cellulose and ion exchange grades.
Features and benefits
- Pure cellulose produced entirely from the highest quality cotton linters with no additives of any kind
- Manufactured and tested specifically for chromatographic techniques – this ensures the wicking capability and uniformity of capillary action that are important in chemical separations.
- Also widely used in protein and nucleic acid blotting (see Blotting Papers)
