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- Glass keys are the traditional type, now mostly superseded by PTFE.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.
