Conical Flask with Side Tube (Erlenmajer Bunsen) (Product Code: SCI-234/86) is a 250 ml borosilicate glass conical flask with a side tube, used as a filtering flask for suction filtration in chemistry and biology laboratories. With a funnel seated in its narrow mouth and the side tube connected to a suction source, it collects filtrate quickly when separating crystals or precipitates. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of chemistry lab glassware, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In suction filtration, a Buchner funnel with filter paper sits in the flask mouth through a rubber bung, and rubber tubing links the side tube to a water or hand pump. Reduced pressure inside the flask draws liquid through the paper, leaving a drier solid on the funnel — much faster than gravity filtration when purifying crystals in organic or inorganic preparations.
The side tube also lets the flask act as a gas outlet, for example carrying carbon dioxide from a reaction through tubing into limewater, or as a trap between a pump and apparatus. Clamp the flask firmly, use thick-walled rubber tubing, and disconnect the tubing before switching off a water pump so water is not sucked back into the filtrate.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading under the ScienceLab name, manufactures this side-tube flask as an OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Buyers from schools, universities, the dealer network and overseas importers receive quotations from the factory itself, which also handles requests for matching flasks when a set needs replacing.
