We offer all former filters by Schleicher & Schuell. Our product range includes all filter media (e. g. filter papers or membrane filters) by Schleicher & Schuell. Schleicher & Schuell does not distribute any filter materials anymore, as it is now part of Whatman (GE Healthcare Group), but we offer equivalent products from Whatman as well as equivalent and cost-effective alternatives from other well-known manufacturers such as Sartorius, Hahnemühle, MerckMillipore and Pall.

If you have any questions on filters by Schleicher & Schuell, Whatman or on filter paper in general, please feel free to contact us.
The separation of Schleicher & Schuell depth filters is based on mechanical retention or rather on the absorption of particles inside the filter maxtrix. The following table shows which filters are equivalent to the ones of Schleicher & Schuell.
Product Examples | Schleicher & Schuell Filters | Filter Properties | Application Areas |
---|---|---|---|
Whatman 43 Whatman 4 | Schleicher & Schuell 589/1 |
