Thermo Scientific™ Celite® Standard Super-cel Filter Aid

Thermo Scientific™ Celite® Standard Super-cel is a high-quality diatomaceous earth filter aid designed to improve filtration efficiency in laboratory and industrial applications. Composed primarily of amorphous silica derived from fossilized diatoms, Celite® enhances filtration speed and clarity by preventing clogging and forming a highly porous filter cake.

This material is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and environmental laboratories for gravity, vacuum, and pressure filtration processes.
