Separating Funnel (Separator)
Product Code : SCL-CL-11491
Separating Funnel (Separator) (SKU SCL-CL-11491) in the 250 ml size has a spherical glass body, a tap at the base and a frosted stopper at the neck. Its larger capacity makes it the choice for teacher demonstrations of immiscible liquids and for extractions that need more solvent, in senior school chemistry, B.Sc. organic practicals and pharmacy labs. Supply comes from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which serves schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
The 250 ml separator is clear glass with a round (spherical) bulb that lets two layers settle and separate cleanly. A tap controls the outflow from the stem and a frosted stopper seals the top, and the glass is described as chemical resistant and heat resistant.

Applications and Experiments for the 250 ml Separating Funnel
With twice the volume of the 125 ml model, this separator handles a full demonstration batch or a solvent extraction that needs repeated washing. The spherical body gives room to shake the two liquids thoroughly before they settle and the lower layer is run off through the tap.
- Class 9 science: a teacher demonstration of oil and water separating into layers.
- Class 12 chemistry: washing and separating an organic product from an aqueous layer.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: solvent extraction with repeated portions of solvent.
- B.Pharm practicals: extraction steps in preparing and purifying compounds.
Vent the funnel after each shake by inverting it and opening the tap, keep solvents away from flames, and let students work with it only under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is supplied as one 250 ml glass separator complete with its tap and frosted stopper. The retort stand and ring or clamp needed to support it are separate items that can join the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
From a single demonstration funnel to a full practical batch, Science Lab Supplies quotes the quantity you name, with packing, delivery time and price set out clearly. Stands, beakers and the smaller separator can be added from the same laboratory glassware supplier in India.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Tender teams can review the lab tender page, and all buyers can use the enquiry cart or the contact page to ask for a price.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this model different from the 125 ml separator?
Both have a spherical glass body with tap and frosted stopper; this one holds 250 ml, so it suits demonstrations and extractions needing more liquid.
Why vent a separating funnel?
Shaking a volatile solvent builds pressure inside. Inverting the funnel and briefly opening the tap releases it so the stopper does not blow out.
Who supplies the 250 ml Separating Funnel (Separator)?
Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors, and quotes tender contractors on request.
Can it go on a tender quotation?
Yes. Send the quantity and delivery location with the tender specification and you will receive an item-wise quotation.
Related Extraction and Support Items
For extractions the separator hangs from a stand over a receiving beaker and is filled through a funnel; the 125 ml model covers smaller student work. These four items from the Chemistry Lab range are commonly bought together with it.
- Separating Funnel (Separator), 125 ml — the compact student size.
- Laboratory Retort Stand — supports the funnel during settling.
- Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 250ml — receives the drained layer.
- Glass Funnel — for filling the separator.
