Tulgren Funnel Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Tulgren Funnel (Product Code: SLE/BL/041) is a Tullgren-type extraction funnel used to drive small animals out of a soil or leaf-litter sample and into a collecting jar during ecology fieldwork and biology practicals. Schools and colleges add its 175mm funnel and 170mm sieve, 65mm deep, to their zoology lab equipment in India, with a 220V heating lamp held above the sample. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Tullgren Funnel Used For?

Clamp the funnel to a stand with the supplied horizontal rod and bosshead, put a collecting jar under the spout, and spread the soil or leaf-litter sample on the perforated plate over the chosen mesh. Coarse mesh lets larger animals drop through freely, while fine mesh stops loose soil from falling into the jar with them. Switch on the lamp above the sample: as the surface warms and dries, mites, springtails, beetle larvae and other soil organisms move downwards and fall through the funnel. A little alcohol in the jar preserves specimens for counting; damp tissue keeps them alive for study and release.

Keep to a bulb of 40 watt or less as specified, because stronger heat can kill animals before they have time to move out. Position the lamp so it cannot touch the sample or any alcohol, and switch it off before handling the set-up. Running several funnels side by side lets a class compare habitats such as lawn, hedge and compost in one session, which makes this a practical centrepiece for an ecology science kit in India.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of funnels — one per group if the class will compare several habitats at once
• Whether you also need stands to take the supplied horizontal rod and bosshead
• A suitable low wattage B22D bayonet bulb of 40 watt or less for each funnel, and whether you want us to quote for bulbs
• Your mains voltage, since the heating lamp is specified at 220V

OEM Manufacturer

This funnel comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the maker is also the seller, schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal directly with the factory for quotations, repeat batches and questions about spare meshes or fittings — just ask us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the Tulgren Funnel?
The Tulgren Funnel has a funnel diameter of 175mm and a sieve diameter of 170mm, with a sieve depth of 65mm. That leaves room for a typical soil or leaf-litter sample spread over the coarse or fine mesh on the perforated plate.

Which bulb does the Tulgren Funnel need?
The Tulgren Funnel needs a low wattage bulb with a B22D bayonet fitting of 22mm diameter, rated at 40 watt or less, in its 220V heating lamp. Keeping to that rating warms the sample gently, so animals move down rather than dying in place.

Are a bulb and collecting jar included with the Tulgren Funnel?
The Tulgren Funnel is supplied with a horizontal support rod, a bosshead and coarse and fine mesh. Our product information states that a bulb is required but does not confirm that a bulb or jar is included, so please check with us when ordering.

Why does the Tulgren Funnel come with two meshes?
The Tulgren Funnel includes coarse and fine mesh so the sieve can match the sample: coarse mesh lets larger animals pass freely from crumbly material, while fine mesh holds back more loose soil and keeps the collecting jar cleaner for counting.

Can the Tulgren Funnel be used where the mains supply is not 220V?
The heating lamp for the Tulgren Funnel is specified at 220V. If your laboratory runs on a different mains voltage, contact us before ordering so we can advise on a suitable arrangement for your country or region.

How does the Tulgren Funnel differ from the Funnel Tullgren listing?
Both use the same heat-driven extraction principle. The Tulgren Funnel listing gives dimensions, a support rod, bosshead and two meshes, while Funnel Tullgren describes the method in more detail; compare both and ask us which suits your class.

Who manufactures the Tulgren Funnel?
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Tulgren Funnel as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets buy it direct from the manufacturer.
