FAQs

What is a Buchner funnel used for?

A Buchner funnel is used for filtering solids from liquids, primarily in vacuum filtration setups. It speeds up the process compared to gravity filtration by creating a vacuum that draws liquid through the filter, making it faster and more efficient for laboratory applications.

What does “medium porosity” mean?

“Medium porosity” refers to the size of the pores in the filter plate. It offers a balance between filtration speed and particle retention, allowing liquids to flow efficiently while capturing medium-sized particles. This makes it suitable for general laboratory filtration tasks requiring moderate particle retention.

Can this funnel be used with vacuum filtration?

Yes, the Buchner funnel is commonly used with vacuum filtration setups. When connected to a vacuum source, such as a pump or aspirator, it accelerates filtration by creating a pressure differential. This helps filter large volumes of liquid more quickly and effectively than gravity filtration alone.

Do I need filter paper with this funnel?

Filter paper is generally recommended with this Buchner funnel to improve filtration efficiency. The medium-porosity filter plate can work without paper in some cases. Still, filter paper helps ensure precise filtration, improves particle retention, and avoids contamination, especially when handling fine particles in liquid samples.

What materials is this funnel made from?

The Buchner funnel is made from durable polypropylene plastic, designed to withstand frequent use in educational, laboratory, and medical training environments. Its sturdy construction ensures long-lasting performance under typical handling conditions, making it a reliable choice for filtration tasks that require durability and robustness.
