Separate solids and liquids. Also known as Buchner funnels, these funnels have a built-in perforated plate—use it by itself or to hold filter paper. Since the plate is built in, all solid material is collected on top while liquid filters through uncontaminated.

To speed up the filtration process, use these funnels with a vacuum flask. Place them into the flask’s stopper for an airtight seal.

Gently add liquid to not disturb other contents. These funnels are often used for chromatography. Instead of an open spout, they have four small outlets on the side of the spout. As you pour, the liquid splits into even streams and flows down the container wall, calmly pooling at the bottom.

Control flow as you transfer liquid into a new container. Also known as separatory funnels, these funnels were originally used in labs to let liquid mixtures separate, like oil and water, to dispense them by density. But they have broader utility too—the stopcock lets you adjust the flow of any liquid from a trickle to a stream. Unlike most funnels, they’re enclosed at the top. Cap them to prevent spills as you move them around your station. Made entirely of borosilicate glass, they withstand high temperatures and harsh chemicals. The glass doesn’t leach, so it won’t affect the contents. All meet strict ASTM standards for laboratory glassware material and dimensions.
