Paper Filter
Product Code : SCL-CL-11912
Paper Filter (SKU SCL-CL-11912), usually 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 is used daily in school, college and analytical chemistry labs. From its base in Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies offers this consumable to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The filter is a sheet of laboratory filter paper that is folded into a cone and nested inside a funnel. Liquid poured from a bottle or beaker passes through the paper while solid 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. Students use it to recover precipitates, clarify solutions before analysis and remove charcoal after decolourising, which makes it a basic item on any chemistry practical list from school to degree level.
- Class 6–9 science: separating sand or chalk from water to learn filtration as a separation method.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: collecting precipitates in salt analysis and preparation experiments.
- B.Sc. chemistry practicals: clarifying solutions before titration or instrumental analysis.
- Removing activated charcoal after decolourising a solution during purification.
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.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Because filter paper is used up quickly, most labs order it by the pack for a term or 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). Send your list using the enquiry cart or the contact page; tender buyers can refer to 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?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, laboratories and contractors, and can combine it on one quotation with funnels, stands and glassware.
What pack sizes are available?
The original listing does not state a pack size or diameter, so please tell us the quantity you need through the contact page and the quotation will confirm the format.
Related Filtration Equipment
A filtration set-up needs more than the paper itself. The four items below from the Chemistry Lab range hold, support or speed up the filtering step, so teachers can put together a complete gravity or vacuum filtration station and ask for everything on a single quotation.
- Funnel — holds the folded filter cone during gravity filtration.
- Funnel Stand — supports funnels above the receiving vessels.
- Vacuum Filtration Funnel (Buhner Funnel) — for faster filtration under suction.
- Filter Paper — another filter paper listing in the same range.
