AquaPrep™ Groundwater Sampling Capsules and Devices

Capsule filters are optimized for minimal background in dissolved metals analysis of water samples

Easiest and most efficient way to meet filtration requirements of the U.S. EPA for 0.45 µm filtration.
Self-contained, disposable units eliminate the time and hazards associated with cleaning filter holders.
AquaPrep 600 capsule has over four times higher EFA than 142 mm disc filters, reducing the need for multiple filter changes during the sampling process and ensuring rapid sample filtration.

Designed for the preparation of groundwater samples for dissolved metals analysis.
EFA of 19.6 cm² makes AquaPrep devices perfect for samples with relatively low levels of particulate matter.
AquaPrep 600 capsules are recommended for moderately silty and particulate-laden groundwater.
