Buchner Funnel

$3.20 – $100.00

SKU:AE-7-605-MXP

A Buchner Funnel is a fritted/perforated funnel used in commercial laboratories for the vacuum-assisted filtration and separation of liquid substances.

Buchner Funnels allow you to filter liquids by pulling them through qualitative filter paper and perforations in the top of the funnel using a vacuum pump.

**Buchner Funnels are measured by the OUTER DIAMETER. Please note this when ordering.**

Description

Porcelain or plastic Buchner Funnels?

The Buchner Funnels we sell are made from premium porcelain, which is the preferred option over plastic or glass.

We recommend porcelain for vacuum filtration, because it’s easier to clean and offers greater chemical resistance. It can also handle more extreme temperatures than plastic. Porcelain is the industry standard for vacuum filtration.

Designed to be reusable.

If properly cared for, Buchner Funnels can last you many years in your lab. Make sure to clean them thoroughly in between uses and that the pores do not become clogged over time, reducing the effectiveness of the filtration.

Create an air-tight seal.

Before use, insert the Buchner Funnel through a rubber cork (with a hole drilled through the center). This holds the funnel in place and creates an air-tight seal.

must be placed over the holes of the funnel to prevent clogging and/or leakage.

Before use, moisten the filter paper inside the funnel to lightly adhere the paper to the funnel, helping “stick” the filter paper to the top of the funnel. This reduces the chance of particles coming between the filter paper and the funnel itself.

Construction:

Each Buchner Funnel is a solid, cylindrical construction with a large, fritted (or perforated) top opening consisting of many tiny holes. The porcelain chamber narrows to a tube-shaped hole on the bottom, through which liquids can pass.

The narrow bottom portion of the funnel can be placed through a rubber stopper to create an air-tight seal, forcing both liquids and gases to pass through the numerous tiny holes at the top.

The liquid drains into a (or filter flask). The receiving flask has a vacuum attachment, to which can be connected.

By placing qualitative filter paper on top of the perforations, you can effectively filter substances by means of vacuum filtration.

The key benefit of using this style of filtration is that the liquid moves through the funnel much faster than with the force of gravity alone (several orders of magnitude, in fact).
