7290-Funnels, Buchner, with sintered disc

• Made from ASTM E-438, TYPE-1, BORO 3.3 GLASS
• Comes with fire polished rim and stem

Here are some common uses of Buchner funnels with sintered discs:

1. Vacuum Filtration: Buchner funnels with sintered discs are primarily used for vacuum filtration, where a vacuum is applied to draw liquid through the porous disc, leaving behind solid particles.
2. Separation of Precipitates: These funnels are employed in separating precipitates or solid particles from a liquid suspension or solution, particularly when the solids are fine and require efficient filtration.
3. Residue Collection: When isolating a solid residue from a liquid, such as in recrystallization processes, Buchner funnels with sintered discs are used to collect the solid material.
4. Aqueous or Organic Filtration: These funnels can be used for both aqueous and organic solvent filtrations, making them versatile for a range of chemical applications.
5. Temperature-Sensitive Filtrations: The sintered disc material is often resistant to changes in temperature, allowing for filtration processes involving hot or cold liquids.
6. Fine Particle Filtration: Buchner funnels with sintered discs are suitable for filtering fine particles or colloidal suspensions that may clog traditional filter paper.
7. Chemical Synthesis: In chemical synthesis, these funnels are used to separate reaction products from reaction mixtures, facilitating the isolation of the desired compounds.
8. Solid-Liquid Separation: These funnels are essential in processes where the goal is to separate a solid phase from a liquid phase efficiently.
9. Laboratory Purification: Buchner funnels with sintered discs are employed in various laboratory purification procedures, such as purifying compounds or separating impurities from solutions.
10. Sample Clarification: In analytical chemistry and sample preparation, these funnels are used to clarify samples by removing suspended particles or precipitates.
11. Extraction Processes: During extraction procedures, these funnels aid in separating extracted compounds from the extraction mixture, providing a clean and filtered solution.
12. Environmental Analysis: Buchner funnels with sintered discs can be used in environmental laboratories for filtering water samples to analyze pollutants or particulate matter.
13. Educational Demonstrations: These funnels are commonly used in educational laboratories to demonstrate the principles of vacuum filtration and solid-liquid separation.
14. Biological Filtration: In biological laboratories, these funnels may be used for filtering biological samples or suspensions, ensuring the collection of purified material.
