Whatman

Whatman is known and recognised throughout the world for its expertise in separations technology and the range of unique and innovative products that this technology makes available. The history of Whatman goes back over 260 years when James Whatman began making paper in a small mill in the heart of the English countryside. His skills at papermaking grew and the business he formed has evolved to become an international byword for the best in separations technology. Whatman is now a publicly traded company, quoted on the London Stock Exchange, with sales spanning the world. In laboratories across the globe, the Whatman name is synonymous with quality, reliability and ease-of-use. Our instinct for simplification accelerates the rate of discovery, reduces costs and saves time.
