Paper Filter
Product Code : SCL-CL-11912
Paper Filter (SKU SCL-CL-11912), also called filter paper, is a laboratory consumable that separates fine solid precipitates and impurities from liquids by gravity filtration. Folded into a cone and seated in a funnel, it suits school, college and analytical chemistry labs. Schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can obtain it through Science Lab Supplies, which dispatches this consumable from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The table lists every detail of this gravity-filtration paper. In short, the sheet is folded into a cone and nested inside a funnel; liquid poured from a bottle or beaker passes through, while precipitates, dust, glass fragments, unreacted solids or powdered agents such as activated charcoal stay behind on the paper.

Applications and Experiments for the Paper Filter
Filter paper is the standard way to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid in the teaching lab. With it, students can recover precipitates, clarify solutions before analysis and remove charcoal after decolourising, so it fits chemistry practicals from middle school right through to degree level.
- Class 6–9 science: separating sand or chalk from water to learn filtration as a separation method, guiding the mixture down a Glass Rod.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: collecting precipitates in salt analysis and preparation experiments, with the filtrate caught in borosilicate Beakers.
- B.Sc. chemistry practicals: clarifying solutions before titration or instrumental analysis.
- Removing activated charcoal after decolourising a solution, then concentrating the clear filtrate in a Porcelain Dish.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Paper Filter is supplied as a consumable as described above; the pack size and sheet format are confirmed on the quotation. A funnel, funnel stand and receiving flask or beaker are separate items and can be quoted alongside the paper so the whole filtration set-up arrives together.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Since filter paper is used up as experiments run, it can be quoted by the pack for a term or for a full year. Ask for one pack or a whole department supply; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and funnels or other school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added.
With an Importer-Exporter Code on record, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). For a price on packs of filter paper, message us via the contact page or list them in the enquiry cart; procurement teams preparing bids will find the route on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Paper Filter used for?
It separates solid particles from a liquid by gravity filtration. Typical uses are collecting chemical precipitates, removing dust or glass fragments before analysis, and holding back activated charcoal after decolourising a solution.
How is filter paper set up in a funnel?
The sheet is folded into a cone, placed inside a funnel and moistened so it sits against the glass. The liquid is then poured in slowly, and the solid stays on the paper while the filtrate runs into the vessel below.
Who supplies the Paper Filter?
It is sourced and dispatched by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, India, which can price it for schools, colleges, laboratories and contractors on the same quotation as funnels, stands and glassware.
What pack sizes are available?
Pack size and sheet diameter are confirmed on the quotation. Tell us the quantity and the funnel size you use through the contact page, and we will match the format and state the packing for that order.
