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. It suits liquid–liquid extraction and purification practicals in school, college and research labs. Science Lab Supplies can quote it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors alike.
Specifications
The 500 ml separatory funnel is detailed row by row in the table below. In short, its clear glass body is made from heat- and chemical-resistant material, and a bottom stopcock valve lets the heavier liquid drain into a separate container while the lighter layer stays above it, so both 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 usual 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, collecting it in a Conical Flask (Erlenmeyer) with Stopper.
- 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 one of the rings of a Laboratory 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. A retort stand, ring or clamp, and the beakers or flasks that receive each layer, can be added to the same quotation so the separation set-up is complete.
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. If you are equipping an extraction practical, describe the set-up on the contact page, place funnels and stands in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for tender terms.
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 for separate collection.
What is the capacity?
The funnel holds 500 ml, which suits school and college extraction and separation practicals where a reasonable volume of both layers has to be handled.
Does the funnel come with a stand?
The funnel is quoted as a single glass item. A ring or clamp on a retort stand, or a separatory funnel holder, can be added to the same quotation to hold it during separation.
Who supplies the Separator Funnel?
Science Lab Supplies handles it from Ambala, India, and can fold it into a wider chemistry lab equipment in India order covering stands, beakers and flasks for a school, college or tender.
