47 mm filtration apparatus with fritted glass support is recommended for routine filtration of corrosive liquids and removal of particles from HPLC solvents. The ground joint connection eliminates phthalate contamination that can occur when using silicone or neoprene stoppers. The support base has a coarse porosity glass frit and an integral vacuum connection, located above the drip tip to prevent contamination of the vacuum line with filtrate droplets. Each apparatus includes a funnel, an anodized aluminum clamp, a 47 mm fritted glass support base, and a filtration flask.
