Product Overview
The Whatman GV050/3 Glass Funnel is engineered from high-purity borosilicate glass, ensuring exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability for demanding laboratory applications. Its 50mm diameter provides an optimal balance between flow rate and filtration precision, making it suitable for a wide range of liquid handling tasks. The funnel’s smooth, flared design minimizes sample loss while maximizing efficiency during decanting or filtration processes. Unlike plastic alternatives, this glass construction eliminates the risk of leaching or contamination, preserving sample integrity. The robust build withstands repeated autoclaving and exposure to corrosive substances without compromising structural integrity. Each funnel undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international laboratory standards, guaranteeing consistent performance across experiments. The transparent glass allows for easy visual monitoring of filtration progress, while the reinforced rim prevents chipping during handling. Whether used with filter paper or as a standalone decanting tool, this funnel delivers reliable results in both routine and specialized procedures. Its universal compatibility with standard laboratory glassware makes it a versatile addition to any research setup.
