Dropping Funnels

Usage Guide

  • Dropping funnels are used to add a liquid to a mixture. They can also be used as a separating funnel if needed.
  • Glass keys are the traditional type, now mostly superseded by PTFE.
  • Graduated dropping funnels can be used to estimate how much liquid is being added. They are calibrated to 2% accuracy and are not intended as a primary measure of volume.
  • Pressure equalising side arms allow a solvent to be added to a mixture in a sealed system.
  • Open top dropping funnels are useful for ease of refilling in situ.
