Your Dependable Porous Frit Manufacturer and Supplier in China
Filson porous frit sometimes equals frit filter or fritted filter. Compared to common filters, it has a similar function to some extent but looks pretty different from the usual form of a filter cartridge. This porous frit is typically designed into a disc shape to suit your column.
As mentioned above, Filson porous frit is easily found in a chromatography column system. Simply, chromatography is an analytical technique that separates the components of a mixture. And porous frit plays an important role during the process.
Column in HPLC System
Filson porous frit will keep the packing media tight in the column rather than leaking out. Meanwhile, the frit prevents the column and even the whole system from impurities and contaminants from sample which contributes a lot to the expensive equipment in the system.
Filson porous frit is also called sintered frit because of its unique manufacturing process. Like other sintered media, sintered frit experiences a special sintering process, heating and pressing the powder material under a temperature lower than its melting point.
After sintering, Filson porous frit is endowed with good chemical resistance and remarkable corrosion resistance to be applied to all sorts of industrial and commercial use. Mostly, it is used in laboratories and has wide versatility in analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and other fields.
Custom SPE Column Fritted Filter
Filson porous frit can be produced with both metal materials and polymer materials to meet different application needs. Stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, and nickel are the frequently used metal materials for frit.
With decades of effort, Filson has mastered the core technologies of sintered porous plastics to develop and manufacture porous frits with polymer materials to support caustic fluid separation processes. The materials include PTFE, polypropylene, polyethylene, and PEEK. You can choose from which to fully fit your requirements.
In addition to the careful design and fabrication of the porous frit itself, Filson offers a sealing ring for the product as well. By using the ring, Filson porous frits are sealed properly for no leakage of the sample passing through the column.
Porous Frit Location in a Column
When it comes to picking the right porous frits for your application, Filson recommends you to choose the larger porosity frits for faster flow rates and choose frits with smaller porosity for applications that are sensitive to extra flow path volume.
Filson has applied our extensive porous frit products, perfect design, and custom manufacturing expertise to come up with solutions for overcoming the complex development challenges and speeding up customers’ industry prosperity.
As an essential supplier to industries active in the fight against the novel coronavirus, Filson is maintaining full operations to continuously support your business. As such, we pay more attention to the safety and disinfection of the porous frits.

People Also Ask
Porous frit is a sintered metal or plastic media used for chromatography systems. It is also known as column frit and sintered frit. With advanced sintering technology and optimal processing condition, porous frit is able to withstand high temperature and pressure.
There are many micro pores on the surface and inside the frit which form the ways for a sample to pass through. At the same time, these precise pores perfectly control the particle sizes of the passing sample to realize an excellent filtration purpose.
Generally, porous frits are made into various shapes and dimensions according to customer specifications. And to better fit your system, you are supposed to double-check the details when choosing your porous frit.
Porous Frit
The correct porous frit is definitely beneficial to your application, to the contrary, if your frit is not matching with your system, it would not show the effector may cause great losses.
Here are some suggestions for your right porous frit selection:
- Determine the proper material for your porous frit. For example, stainless steel is a popular material used to make frit, but it is prone to corrosion in acidic applications or when exposed to strong cleaners like bleach. At this time, you should consider changing the material.
- Improve analytical sensitivity to eliminate interaction with metal.
- Know your application well, like properties of the sample, packing size, working temperature, and pressure.
- Make sure you are providing the right specifications of your porous frit. Measure your column to decide the size and dimension of the frit.
- Filtration accuracy is important for your application because it directly influences column efficiency. Whether impurities would get in the equipment or not, it’s all determined by the pore size of frit.
If you don’t know how to choose a suitable porous frit or still have questions on frit selection, please feel free to consult Filson for a clear answer.

Sure.
Porous frits do protect chromatography columns from contamination and clogging, but there’s the possibility that they themselves become part of the problem.
If they are corroded and pitted, the frit surface will be a perfect hiding place for stick compounds, such as proteins. Meanwhile, it becomes the source of contamination which is a threat to the costly column.
You may think stainless steel a proper material, but it is an active surface and promotes protein retention. Also, it faces the risk of corrosion. And polymer materials are commonly used to produce porous frit. However, they are all limited in surface properties and not durable enough for application.
To avoid corrosion, you can choose to change material or surface, but it’s not cost-effective. Then, you can add corrosion resistant coatings to your frits. A silicon coating applied by chemical vapor deposition ( CVD ) may solve the problem and bring improved corrosion resistance.
Porous frit is featured by uniform pore distribution, good chemical property, excellent corrosion resistance, and stable sample flow introduction. With such amazing advantages, the product is able to be used for all sorts of industrial applications.
