PATIKIL 3000ml Conical Separating Funnel Borosilicate PTFE Stopcock

Description

Product Overview

The PATIKIL 3000ml conical separating funnel is engineered for demanding laboratory environments where precision, durability, and chemical resistance are paramount. Crafted from premium borosilicate glass, the funnel offers exceptional clarity, allowing users to monitor phase boundaries with ease during liquid-liquid extraction, titration, and other separation processes. The heavy‑wall construction not only enhances structural integrity but also provides resistance to thermal shock and mechanical impact, extending the lifespan of the instrument under routine cleaning and repeated use. Integrated with a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) stopcock, the funnel ensures a smooth, leak‑free flow control, even when handling aggressive solvents or corrosive reagents. The 24/29 joint size conforms to standard laboratory fittings, facilitating seamless integration with condensers, drying tubes, and other accessories. With a capacity of 3000 ml, the funnel accommodates sizable sample volumes, reducing the need for multiple transfers and minimizing exposure to hazardous substances. The transparent design, combined with a conical shape, promotes efficient phase separation and rapid drainage, optimizing workflow efficiency in both academic and industrial settings.

Usage

This separating funnel is ideally suited for a broad spectrum of laboratory applications. In analytical chemistry labs, it excels during solvent extraction procedures, enabling precise separation of organic and aqueous layers. In organic synthesis, the funnel facilitates the removal of by‑products and the isolation of desired compounds, supporting multi‑step reaction sequences. Petrochemical research facilities benefit from its robust construction when handling high‑viscosity oils and aggressive solvents, while environmental testing labs rely on its chemical resistance for sample preparation involving hazardous contaminants. The funnel’s design also supports educational settings, providing students with a reliable tool for hands‑on learning in undergraduate chemistry courses. Its ergonomic stopcock allows for controlled dispensing, reducing the risk of splashing and exposure. Whether employed in a fume hood for volatile solvent work or in a glove box for air‑sensitive reactions, the PATIKIL funnel delivers consistent performance, making it a versatile asset across diverse scientific disciplines.

FAQ

What types of solvents can I safely use with this funnel?

The borosilicate glass and PTFE stopcock are resistant to most common laboratory solvents, including acids, bases, alcohols, and hydrocarbons. However, avoid prolonged exposure to highly concentrated hydrofluoric acid, as it can attack glass.

How do I clean and maintain the funnel after use?

Rinse the funnel with appropriate solvent to remove residues, then wash with warm soapy water. For stubborn deposits, soak in a mild alkaline solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a lint‑free cloth. The PTFE stopcock can be cleaned with a soft brush and compatible solvent.

Can the funnel be used for high‑temperature applications?

Yes, borosilicate glass tolerates temperatures up to approximately 350 °C (662 °F), making the funnel suitable for many heated processes. Ensure the PTFE stopcock is not exposed to temperatures exceeding its rated limit (around 260 °C).

Is the 24/29 joint compatible with standard laboratory glassware?

Absolutely. The 24/29 joint conforms to common laboratory standards, allowing seamless connection to condensers, drying tubes, and other glassware without the need for adapters.

What is the warranty coverage for this product?

PATIKIL provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues related to material or workmanship, contact our support team for replacement or repair options.
