Buchner Funnel, 90 mm, Polypropylene (Product Code: SLE/GF/04) is a lightweight two-part funnel for vacuum filtration: the upper section snaps onto the lower one to form a vacuum-tight seal without grease, and its 90 mm filter plate carries hundreds of small perforations for efficient filtration. It holds about 300 ml and has a slimmer stem than typical porcelain Buchner funnels. Chemistry, pharmacy and life-science teaching labs choose it as practical lab equipment for college and research benches; it is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Polypropylene — lightweight, acid and alkali resistant, easy to clean, autoclavable |
| Construction | Two-part; top snaps to the lower part, forming a vacuum-tight seal that does not need grease |
| Diameter | 90 mm |
| Capacity | About 300 ml |
| Filter plate | Hundreds of small perforations |
| Stem | Tapers from about 13 mm OD at the end to 18 mm OD at the cone |
| Application | Vacuum filtration |
Set the funnel in a filter flask with a bung that grips its narrow stem, connect the flask to a vacuum source, lay a trimmed filter paper flat across the perforated plate and wet it, then pour the mixture in with the vacuum running. Students use this arrangement to recover crystals after recrystallisation, collect precipitates in gravimetric exercises and dry a washed solid quickly, as the suction pulls air through the filter cake.
Because the funnel is light and will not shatter like ceramic if knocked over, it is well suited to busy pharmacy lab equipment sets and large practical classes. After use, unsnap the two sections so the plate and bowl can be rinsed separately, and autoclave the parts when sterile apparatus is required. Its smaller stem fits flasks and bungs that would be too narrow for a porcelain funnel.
The funnel is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), trading as ScienceLab, which manufactures at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).

How do the two parts fit together?
The top portion snaps onto the lower one, creating a vacuum-tight seal with no grease required. The parts can be separated again for cleaning.
What is the capacity?
About 300 ml, with a 90 mm diameter filter plate.
Will it fit my existing filter flask?
The stem tapers from about 13 mm OD at the end to 18 mm OD at the cone, which is much smaller than typical porcelain Buchner funnels. Use a bung or adapter with a bore to suit, and contact us if you need help matching one.
Can it be autoclaved?
Yes, polypropylene is autoclavable, and it also resists acids and alkalis.
What filter paper should I use?
Use a circle that lies flat on the 90 mm plate and covers all the perforations; trim larger papers to size. We can suggest a suitable paper on request.
Do you supply export and distributor orders?
Yes, ScienceLab supplies institutions and distributors in India and international markets. Send the quantity and destination for a quotation.
