Powder Funnel (Product Code: SLE/GF/07) is a polypropylene funnel built for pouring powdered reagents and granular solids into bottles and flasks. Its parallel stem keeps powder moving instead of letting it pack and bridge in the neck, which makes weighing out and transferring dry chemicals quicker and cleaner. Lab technicians, chemistry teachers and stores staff use it for everyday handling of solids, and it belongs to the chemistry lab equipment for schools in India produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Set the funnel in the mouth of the receiving container, tip the weighed solid in steadily and tap the side lightly so the last grains run through. The short, wide 12.5 mm stem suits salts, sugar, sand, soil samples and crystals that would choke a narrow liquid funnel. In school practicals it is handy for charging conical flasks before a reaction, refilling reagent bottles from bulk packs and preparing solutions where the solid goes in first and the solvent follows. Fitted with 11 cm filter paper, it can also serve for a quick gravity filtration.
Because it is steam autoclavable, the same funnel can move between a chemistry bench and a microbiology prep area when media powders have to be dispensed. Keep one funnel for each reagent family where cross-contamination matters, wipe out residues with a dry brush before rinsing, and let it dry fully before the next powder transfer. Schools buying from a laboratory equipment supplier in India often order it together with filter paper and wide-neck flasks.
This powder funnel is produced under the ScienceLab brand by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company headquartered in Ambala, Haryana, that equips teaching and testing laboratories in India and international markets. The company profile explains the range and how the business works.

Why use a powder funnel instead of an ordinary funnel?
Its parallel stem, with a 12.5 mm opening, minimises bridging so powders keep flowing. A standard liquid funnel with a narrow tapering stem tends to clog with dry solids.
What are the dimensions?
The funnel is 80 mm in diameter, with a 12.5 mm stem opening and a 30 mm stem length.
Can it be sterilised?
Yes, it is steam autoclavable, so it can be sterilised along with other autoclavable plasticware in a routine cycle.
Which filter paper size fits it?
Use it with 11 cm filter paper when you need it for filtration.
Is it suitable for hot liquids or strong solvents?
It is designed for powdered reagents. For hot liquids or aggressive solvents, choose a glass funnel, or ask us about your specific chemical before use.
What details do you need for a school or tender quotation?
