Versatile Porosity GradesSelect from coarse, medium, or fine porosity (Grades 3, 2, 1) to achieve optimal filtration for your specific laboratory process. The sintered glass disc provides uniform particle capture, ensuring precise separation in filtration applications ranging from analytical chemistry to microbiology.
Exceptional Chemical and Temperature ResistanceManufactured from borosilicate and sintered glass, this Buchner funnel withstands corrosive chemicals, organic solvents, and temperatures up to 200C. It is suitable for routine sterilization in standard autoclaves, guaranteeing safe reuse and long-term durability in demanding laboratory environments.
Efficient, Reusable Laboratory Filtration EquipmentThis funnel offers manual operation with no power required and is compatible with all standard Buchner flasks and vacuum manifolds. Its cylindrical shape and short stem simplify assembly and cleaning, while autoclaving ensures sterility, making it a reliable tool for frequent filtration tasks in research and testing laboratories.
FAQs of Sintered Glass Buchner Funnel:
Q: How do I select the appropriate porosity grade for my filtration process?
A: Choose the porosity grade based on the particle size you aim to filter: coarse (Grade 3) for larger particles, medium (Grade 2) for intermediate filtration, and fine (Grade 1) for fine particulate separation. Consider your applications requirements in microbiology, chemistry, or analytical separation.
Q: What is the recommended procedure for cleaning and sterilizing the sintered glass Buchner funnel?
A: Rinse the funnel with water or suitable cleaning agents after use. For sterilization, autoclave the funnel at standard temperatures, as it withstands heat up to 200C. Ensure the funnel is non-sterile before use and properly sterilized for sensitive applications.
Q: When should I replace the funnel or its filter disc?
A: Replace the funnel if you notice cracks, chips, or a decline in filtration efficiency due to clogging that cannot be resolved by cleaning. The sintered glass disc is integral; replacement is necessary if physical damage or persistent blockage occurs.
Q: Where can this Buchner funnel be used within laboratory workflows?
A: It is suitable for use in filtration setups involving Buchner flasks and vacuum manifolds. Applicable environments include analytical chemistry labs, microbiology facilities, and any setting requiring reliable liquid-solid separation processes.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a sintered glass Buchner funnel made from borosilicate glass?
A: Benefits include high chemical resistance, uniform and reproducible porosity, reusable design, easy cleaning, and suitability for vacuum filtration. Borosilicate glass ensures durability, clarity for observation, and compatibility with a wide range of laboratory chemicals.
Q: How does the funnels short stem design improve its usability?
A: The short stem allows for straightforward assembly with standard Buchner flasks and vacuum manifolds, minimizing set-up time and facilitating consistent, leak-free filtration procedures.
