Product Code : SCL-LF-11972
Separating Funnel (SKU SCL-LF-11972), also called a separator, is a 250 mL spherical glass funnel with a tap and a frosted stopper, used to separate two immiscible liquids and to carry out liquid-liquid extraction. It suits school science classes, college chemistry practicals and routine laboratory work. Buyers in schools, colleges and research labs, as well as tender contractors and distributors, can request it from Science Lab Supplies, which handles each quotation from its Ambala office in India.
Specifications
Each specification of the 250 mL spherical separator is given in the table below. In short, a clear glass body holds the liquids, a tap near the stem drains the lower layer under control, and a frosted stopper closes the top; the glass is chemical resistant and heat resistant, and its clarity shows the layer boundary.

Applications and Experiments for the Separating Funnel
Two liquids that do not mix settle into layers by density; opening the tap lets the lower layer run out while the upper one stays behind. That makes this funnel suitable school chemistry lab equipment in India for density-based separation and a practical vessel for extraction work in college laboratories.
- Class 9 science: separating immiscible liquids such as kerosene and water or oil and water, with the lower layer run into a Borosilicate Conical Flask.
- Class 11–12 and B.Sc. chemistry: solvent extraction and washing of organic products, with the mixture poured in through a Borosilicate Filter Funnel.
- Sample preparation in teaching and research labs where one liquid phase must be isolated.
Close the tap before filling, vent carefully after shaking, and support the funnel securely, for example on a Laboratory Retort Stand, while the layers settle. Wear eye protection and never use cracked glassware.
Standard Scope of Supply
One 250 mL spherical glass separating funnel is supplied with its integrated tap and one frosted stopper. A stand, clamp or separatory funnel holder can be added to the same quotation if your bench does not already have one, so the funnel arrives ready to set up.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need a single funnel or one per student pair, ask for a quotation and it will give packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Holders, beakers and other glassware from a laboratory glassware supplier in India can be priced on the same document.

For an extraction-bench price, list your quantities on the contact page or save the funnel in the enquiry cart; bids for institutional tenders start from the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a separating funnel used for?
It separates two immiscible liquids that form distinct layers and is used for liquid-liquid extraction, draining the lower layer through the tap into a receiving vessel.
Are the tap and stopper included?
Yes. The 250 mL funnel comes with its tap built in and a frosted stopper for the top opening, so it is ready for shaking and draining once it is supported.
Can it be used in school laboratories?
Yes. It is suitable for supervised school demonstrations and student exercises on separating immiscible liquids, provided normal glassware safety rules are followed.
Who supplies this separating funnel?
It is quoted by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, for one-off orders, class sets and tenders, and the other separator sizes and holders in the range can be priced alongside it.
