Glass Filtration Apparatus for Laboratory Use

The glass filtration apparatus is a versatile and efficient solution for the separation of dissolved or suspended solids in liquids. Ideal for use in chemical, microbiological, and quality control laboratories, this system is designed to meet the highest standards of accuracy and durability.

Main Features

• Material: Made of borosilicate glass 3.3, renowned for its excellent chemical resistance to water, saline solutions, acids, bases, and organic solvents. This material is only sensitive to hydrofluoric acid and may be affected by strong bases or phosphoric acid at high temperatures.
• Components of the apparatus:
  • Conical flask: with male ground joint for a secure connection.
  • Base with porous plate: suitable for membrane filters, equipped with female ground joint and hose connection for vacuum use.
  • Graduated funnel: allows precise measurement during filtration.
  • Clamp: made of anodized aluminum for a stable and secure assembly.

Instructions for Use

1. Preparation: Place the appropriate membrane filter in the funnel according to the type of sample.
2. Assembly: Insert the funnel into the neck of the conical flask.
3. Connection: Attach the flask to a vacuum pump using a compatible hose.
4. Filtration: Pour the liquid into the funnel; the vacuum suction will draw the liquid through the membrane, retaining particles or microorganisms.
5. Collection: The clean filtrate accumulates in the flask, while the retained matter remains on the membrane.

Common Applications

• Microbiological analysis
• Quality control
• Scientific research
• Solution preparation

Each component of the filtration set can be purchased individually according to your specific laboratory needs. Visit our accessories and spare parts section for detailed information on available items.

Always ensure you select the appropriate membrane filter (material and pore size) for your application. This apparatus is an essential laboratory tool for achieving accurate, reliable, and reproducible separations.
