Separating Funnel (Separator) (Product Code: SCI-153/065) is a borosilicate glass funnel used to separate two liquids that do not mix, and to carry out small solvent extractions, in chemistry teaching and research labs. It has a 125 ml capacity and is listed with a faucet (tap) and corkscrew, so the lower layer can be drained off in a controlled way. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A separating funnel lets students split immiscible liquids such as oil and water, or an organic solvent and an aqueous solution. After shaking, the mixture settles into two layers; opening the tap drains the lower layer into a flask while the upper layer stays behind. The same technique is used for simple extractions, for example moving a dissolved coloured substance from water into a solvent, and for washing a solvent layer with water.
The 125 ml size keeps quantities small, which suits student practicals and saves solvent. Mount the funnel in a ring on a retort stand, close the tap before filling, and when shaking hold the stopper and tap firmly, then vent through the tap pointed away from people. Remove the stopper before draining so the liquid runs freely.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known as ScienceLab, is the OEM of this Separating Funnel (Separator) and makes it at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It reaches schools, universities, institutions, dealers and importers factory-direct.
Spare or replacement funnels for breakages can be ordered from the manufacturer that made the originals — ask us. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

What is the Separating Funnel (Separator) used for?
The Separating Funnel (Separator) separates two liquids that do not mix, such as oil and water. After the layers settle, the tap is opened to drain the lower layer, and the funnel is also used for simple solvent extractions and washing.
Does the Separating Funnel (Separator) have a tap and stopper?
The Separating Funnel (Separator) is listed with a faucet (tap) and corkscrew. If your practical needs a particular stopcock or stopper style, please confirm it through the contact page before ordering.
How do I release pressure when shaking a separating funnel?
When shaking the Separating Funnel (Separator), hold the stopper and tap firmly, turn the funnel upside down with the stem pointing up and away from people, and open the tap briefly to vent. Repeat until no more gas escapes.
Can the Separating Funnel (Separator) be heated?
Although its glass is listed as heat resistant, the Separating Funnel (Separator) is meant for room-temperature work and should not be heated directly. Let warm liquids cool before adding them, especially volatile solvents that can build up pressure.
