Funnel
Funnel (Product Code: SCL-523/011) is a long-stem laboratory funnel moulded in clear polypropylene, used for gravity filtration and for pouring liquids into narrow-necked flasks without spills in school and college labs. Its 60° cone, smooth walls and external ribs that prevent air lock keep liquid moving, and it can be steam autoclaved. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Polypropylene Funnel Used For?
For filtration, a circle of filter paper is folded into a cone, opened out and seated in the funnel; the 60° cone lets the paper lie against the smooth wall so the liquid passes through the paper rather than running down the sides. The long stem fills with filtrate as the work proceeds, which helps draw the liquid through, and the external ribs keep a small air gap in the neck of a conical flask so the receiver can vent. The same funnel is handy for refilling reagent bottles and for pouring solutions into volumetric flasks during titration work.
Being polypropylene, it survives the knocks of a busy practical room far better than glass, which is why schools add it to their lab plastic ware alongside beakers and bottles, but it should not be placed over a flame or on a hot plate. Rinse it straight after use, clean with warm water, a mild detergent and a soft brush, and avoid abrasive powders. Where sterile handling is needed, for example in microbiology classes, steam autoclave it before use.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this polypropylene Funnel. It is produced at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers rather than through a trading intermediary.
Repeat class orders are handled by the manufacturer itself, so ask us whenever your stock of funnels needs topping up. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

- Filter Paper — folded into the cone for gravity filtration
- Funnel Holder — supports the funnel above the receiving vessel
- Conical Flask — a common receiver for the filtrate
- Beaker, Polypropylene — holds the mixture before it is poured
- Glass Funnel — an alternative where glass is preferred

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Funnel made of?
The Funnel (SCL-523/011) is moulded in polypropylene, a tough plastic, and the body is clear so the liquid level and the filter paper can be seen during use. It withstands the knocks of a practical room better than glass.
Why does the 60 degree cone angle matter?
The Funnel has a 60° cone, which matches a filter paper folded into quarters, so the paper sits evenly against the smooth wall and liquid passes through the paper instead of running down the sides.
Can the Funnel be sterilised?
Yes. The polypropylene Funnel can be steam autoclaved, which makes it suitable for microbiology and biology practicals as well as chemistry. Follow the cycle your autoclave recommends for polypropylene labware, and ask us if you need guidance.
What do the external ribs do?
The external ribs on the Funnel prevent air lock. They leave a small gap where the stem rests in the neck of the receiving flask, so air can escape and the filtrate keeps flowing instead of stalling.
Which diameters are available?
Sizes for the Funnel (SCL-523/011) are not listed on this page. Please enquire through our contact page with the diameter or capacity you need, and we will confirm what is currently available before quoting.
Who manufactures the Funnel?
The Funnel (SCL-523/011) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct to institutions, dealers and importers.
Can you supply class sets or dealer quantities?
Yes. The Funnel is supplied in class-set and dealer quantities to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets; include the quantity and delivery location with your enquiry for a manufacturer’s quotation.
