Separator Funnel

Product Code : SCL-CL-11907

Separator Funnel (SKU SCL-CL-11907), also called a separatory funnel, is a 500 ml clear glass vessel with a stopcock at the bottom for separating two immiscible liquids by their difference in density. Chemistry students and technicians use it for liquid–liquid extraction and purification in college and research labs. For schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, Science Lab Supplies sources and supplies it from Ambala, India.

Specifications

The funnel has a 500 ml clear glass body made from heat- and chemical-resistant material. A bottom stopcock valve lets the heavier liquid drain into a separate container while the lighter layer stays above it, so the two phases can be collected cleanly.

Applications and Experiments for the Separatory Funnel

A separatory funnel separates liquids that do not mix, such as oil and water, and is the standard vessel for solvent extraction. It supports the separation-of-mixtures topic in CBSE/NCERT Class 9 science, Class 11–12 organic chemistry, and B.Sc. or B.Pharm. extraction practicals.

• Class 9 science: separating kerosene or oil from water.
• Class 11–12 organic chemistry: washing and separating an organic layer from an aqueous one.
• B.Sc. and B.Pharm.: liquid–liquid extraction of a solute into a second solvent.
• Technician training: draining layers cleanly and recovering both phases.

Support the funnel in a ring on a retort stand, close the stopcock before filling, and when shaking volatile solvents invert it and open the stopcock often to release pressure, working under supervision and away from flames.

Standard Scope of Supply

Each Separator Funnel is one 500 ml clear glass funnel with its bottom stopcock. The retort stand, ring or clamp, and the beakers or flasks that receive each layer are separate items that can be added to the same quotation.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Quotes are available for a single funnel for a demonstration or for a set covering each bench in an organic chemistry lab. Each quote lists packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and stands and receiving glassware can join the order.

With its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Enquire on the contact page, collect items in the enquiry cart, or consult the lab tender page for a tender quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a separator funnel work?
Two immiscible liquids settle into layers by density. Opening the bottom stopcock drains the heavier layer into one container while the lighter layer stays in the funnel.

What is the capacity?
The funnel holds 500 ml, which suits most school and college extraction and separation practicals.

Is a stand included?
No. The funnel is supplied on its own; hold it in a ring or clamp on a retort stand, which can be quoted separately.

Who supplies the Separator Funnel?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, and can include it in a wider chemistry lab equipment in India order for schools, colleges or tenders.

Related Separation Glassware

A separation needs a stand to hold the funnel and vessels to collect each layer, and many practicals follow on with filtration. These four Chemistry Lab items complete the set-up and can be quoted with the separator funnel.

• Laboratory Retort Stand — supports the funnel during separation.
• Beakers — borosilicate beakers to collect each layer.
• Conical Flask (Erlenmeyer) with Stopper — stoppered flask for keeping a separated layer.
• Funnel — glass funnel for filtration after separation.
