Chempure Analytical Funnel

Description

These long stem funnels are specifically designed for laboratory use. They feature smooth walls and a 60° cone angle, which ensures efficient and controlled transfer of liquids or powders. The external ribs on the funnel prevent airlock by allowing air to escape, thus facilitating a smoother and quicker flow of materials. Molded from polypropylene, these funnels are clear, offering visibility during use, and can be steam autoclaved for sterilization.

Uses

Analytical funnels are versatile tools used in various laboratory settings. Here are some of the common applications:

Filtration: Ideal for separating solids from liquids when used with filter paper.
Transferring Liquids: Used to pour liquids into containers with narrow openings without spilling.
Powder Transfer: Efficiently transfer powders into containers, minimizing spillage and wastage.
Preparation of Solutions: Useful in preparing chemical solutions by ensuring accurate and clean transfer of chemicals.

Additional Details

Autoclavable: Can be sterilized using steam autoclaving, making them suitable for use in sterile environments.
Chemical Resistance: Polypropylene is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making these funnels suitable for use with various acids, bases, and solvents.
Durability: The robust nature of polypropylene ensures that these funnels are durable and can withstand regular use in the laboratory.
Clear Visibility: The clear material allows for easy observation of the funneling process, ensuring precision and accuracy in laboratory tasks.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning: Rinse thoroughly with appropriate solvents after use. Autoclaving is recommended for sterilization.
Storage: Store in a clean, dry place to prevent contamination.
Handling: Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging the funnel, which could compromise its effectiveness.

Comparison to Other Materials

Glass Funnels: Unlike glass funnels, polypropylene funnels are less prone to breakage and are lighter in weight. However, glass funnels may be preferred for applications requiring high-temperature resistance beyond the capabilities of polypropylene.
Metal Funnels: Metal funnels are more durable and resistant to physical damage but are not transparent and may react with certain chemicals. Polypropylene offers the advantage of chemical inertness and transparency.

Using polypropylene analytical funnels provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of laboratory applications, combining durability, chemical resistance, and ease of sterilization.
