Polythene Filter Funnels (Product Code: SLE/P/20) are small plastic funnels used for filtration and separation work with soils and solutions in school, college and field laboratories. At 38 mm they suit small-volume filtrations with folded filter paper, and the plastic is listed as unbreakable, which makes them a safer choice than glass on student benches. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In soil practicals, students shake a soil sample with distilled water and pour the mixture through filter paper in the funnel to obtain a clear extract for pH or nutrient tests. The same funnel separates precipitates from solutions in chemistry, for example when collecting an insoluble salt, and clarifies small water samples before testing. Its compact size suits the short filtrations common in school practicals, and it is equally useful as lab equipment for colleges in India running soil and water analysis.
Fold a filter paper circle into a cone, seat it in the funnel and wet it with a little distilled water so it clings to the wall before pouring. Support the funnel in a stand or on a small flask, pour down a stirring rod, and never fill the paper to the rim. Wash the funnel after soil work so fine particles do not carry over into the next filtration.
These filter funnels are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and produces them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Supplying factory-direct, the company serves schools, colleges, soil-testing and teaching laboratories, dealers and importers, and handles repeat orders itself.

What size are the Polythene Filter Funnels?
The Polythene Filter Funnels (SLE/P/20) are 38 mm in size. This compact funnel suits small-volume filtrations with a folded filter paper, such as clearing soil extracts or separating a small quantity of precipitate from a solution.
Are the Polythene Filter Funnels breakable?
The Polythene Filter Funnels are made of plastic that is listed as unbreakable, so they do not shatter like a glass funnel if dropped on a bench or floor. Keep them away from flames and hot liquids, which can soften polythene.
Can the Polythene Filter Funnels be used for soil analysis?
Yes. The Polythene Filter Funnels are intended for separation work with soils and solutions, making them suitable for filtering soil-water mixtures to get a clear extract for pH or nutrient tests in school, college and field laboratories.
Do the filter funnels come with filter paper?
Filter paper is not listed as included with the Polythene Filter Funnels (SLE/P/20). ScienceLab supplies filter paper separately, so add it to your enquiry through the contact page and state the circle size you need for a 38 mm funnel.
Who manufactures the Polythene Filter Funnels?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Polythene Filter Funnels (SLE/P/20) as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies them factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
