The 100ml Borosilicate Glass Buchner Funnel is a high-performance laboratory apparatus designed to deliver reliable and efficient filtration in chemical and scientific research settings. Constructed from premium borosilicate glass, this Buchner funnel is engineered to withstand high temperatures, thermal shock, and chemical exposure, making it ideal for laboratories that conduct frequent filtration processes under varying conditions. With a capacity of 100 milliliters and a mouth diameter of 40mm, it is well-suited for medium-volume filtration tasks, commonly used in both academic and industrial lab environments.
Description
One of the primary advantages of this 100ml Buchner funnel is its construction using borosilicate glass, a material well known for its superior durability, heat resistance, and chemical inertness. It can endure rapid temperature fluctuations without cracking or warping, allowing it to be used with both hot and cold liquids. This makes it an excellent tool for vacuum filtration processes, where the funnel may come in contact with heated chemical solutions or need to be sterilized at high temperatures before or after use. Its resistance to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents ensures that it retains structural integrity and does not react with experimental substances, thereby maintaining the purity of the samples being filtered.
The funnel features a round head shape, which is ideal for holding filter paper securely and evenly during use. This ensures a consistent rate of filtration and prevents leakage or bypass of unfiltered liquid. Its cylindrical stem can be easily attached to filtration flasks or connected to vacuum setups using rubber stoppers or adapters, facilitating vacuum-assisted filtration that speeds up the process compared to traditional gravity-based methods. The design of the stem ensures a tight and stable fit, minimizing the risk of spills and promoting safe and efficient lab operations.
Because of its compact size and 100ml capacity, this Buchner funnel is especially suitable for small-scale lab experiments, quality control procedures, or educational demonstrations. It is commonly used in chemistry, biology, pharmaceutical, and environmental laboratories where precise separation of solids from liquids is required. The clear glass construction allows for full visibility during filtration, enabling lab personnel to monitor progress and quickly identify any clogs or anomalies during the process.
Additionally, the smooth surface and non-porous nature of borosilicate glass make cleaning the funnel simple and effective. It is resistant to staining and can be sterilized through autoclaving or chemical disinfection, allowing it to be reused multiple times without compromising performance or safety. The funnel’s thick wall design adds an extra layer of protection, preventing breakage during routine lab handling and enhancing its lifespan.
Whether used in student labs for foundational chemistry lessons or in advanced research laboratories for analytical work, the 100ml Borosilicate Glass Buchner Funnel combines robust construction, excellent heat and chemical resistance, and efficient functionality to support high-quality filtration results. It meets the demands of professional laboratory standards while remaining easy to use, clean, and maintain. This versatile piece of lab glassware is an essential addition to any facility that requires reliable and precise filtration, offering both performance and durability for a wide range of scientific applications.
