Product Overview: Polylab Thistle Funnel Set for Kipps Apparatus

The Polylab Thistle Funnel Set for Kipps Apparatus is a purpose-built laboratory accessory designed to deliver precise, controlled, and safe reagent introduction into gas-generating systems. Ideal for use in chemical laboratories, educational institutions, and industrial research labs, this funnel set ensures uninterrupted gas production and high laboratory safety.

Unlike fragile glass funnels, this high-grade polypropylene funnel provides robust chemical resistance and excellent physical durability. Whether your lab routinely performs reactions involving hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) or carbon dioxide (CO₂), this funnel ensures reagents are delivered slowly and securely into the reaction chamber, reducing the chance of overflow, backflow, or uncontrolled splashing.

 Precision Design for Controlled Delivery

The long, narrow stem ensures reagents enter the Kipps Apparatus chamber at a controlled rate, which is crucial in maintaining a consistent chemical reaction. This feature enhances experimental accuracy, safeguards against reactive surges, and supports reproducible results, making it suitable for academic labs and training setups.

 Durable & Chemically Resistant

Constructed from autoclavable, corrosion-resistant plastic, this funnel withstands acidic and basic reagents without degrading over time. It’s an ideal alternative to glass, especially in busy labs where breakage risk is high. The leak-proof design ensures a snug fit with standard Kipps Apparatus units, preventing gas leakage and exposure.

 Transparent & Easy to Handle

Its semi-transparent body helps users easily monitor reagent levels, detect clogs, and maintain visibility during dosing. The lightweight form factor allows single-hand use, which is particularly helpful during multi-step experiments. It’s also compact and easy to move between lab stations, ideal for mobile setups or classroom demonstrations.

 Hygienic & Low-Maintenance

With a smooth inner surface and easy cleaning protocol, the funnel reduces cross-contamination and meets lab hygiene standards—essential in pharmaceutical, food chemistry, and academic testing environments. The reusable design contributes to lower operational costs and eco-friendlier lab practices.
