Product Description
When precision and chemical resistance matter, the Whatman GV050/1 Glass Funnel with PTFE Frit is the go-to choice for labs across India. Designed for demanding applications, this 250 mL funnel combines the durability of borosilicate glass with the inert properties of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), making it ideal for filtering aggressive solvents, acids, and bases without contamination.
Unlike standard funnels, the integrated PTFE frit ensures fine particle retention while maintaining smooth flow rates. The PTFE ring adds stability, preventing leaks during vacuum or gravity filtration. Whether you’re a student setting up a chemistry experiment or a researcher handling sensitive samples, this funnel delivers consistent results.
At eqipped, we understand the need for reliable lab equipment. That’s why we stock Whatman’s trusted filtration solutions, ensuring you get tools that meet global standards. Upgrade your lab setup today—shop the Whatman PTFE frit glass funnel and experience hassle-free filtration.
Why This Funnel Stands Out
The PTFE frit is the star here. Unlike paper filters, it won’t degrade with harsh chemicals, and unlike metal frits, it won’t corrode. This means longer lifespan and fewer replacements. The glass body is thermally resistant, so you can use it with hot or cold liquids without worrying about cracks.
For educators, this funnel is a great teaching tool. Its transparent design lets students observe filtration processes clearly, while the PTFE components demonstrate real-world applications of polymer chemistry. Researchers will appreciate its compatibility with HPLC-grade solvents and minimal extractables.
Common Applications
This funnel isn’t just for general lab work. Here’s where it shines:
- Sample preparation in analytical chemistry
- Filtration of organic solvents in synthesis
- Particle removal in environmental testing
- Clarifying solutions in pharmaceutical research

Handling and Care
To maximize longevity, rinse the funnel with compatible solvents after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the PTFE frit. For stubborn residues, sonication in mild detergent works well. Always store it in a dust-free environment to prevent clogging.
FAQs
1. Can this funnel be used with hydrofluoric acid?
No, PTFE is resistant to most acids but not hydrofluoric acid. For HF, use a funnel with a polyethylene frit instead.
2. What’s the pore size of the PTFE frit?
The Whatman GV050/1 features a 50-micron PTFE frit, suitable for fine particle retention without excessive clogging.
3. Is this funnel autoclavable?
Yes, the borosilicate glass and PTFE components can withstand standard autoclaving cycles (121°C).
4. Can I use this for vacuum filtration?
Absolutely. The PTFE ring ensures a secure seal with standard vacuum flasks, making it ideal for accelerated filtration.
5. Where can I buy the Whatman GV050/1 funnel in India?
You can purchase it online at eqipped, with fast shipping across major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi.
