The MEDILAB Buchner Funnel with Thick Stem is a high-quality porcelain filtration funnel designed for vacuum filtration of suspensions, precipitates, and chemical solutions. Featuring a fixed perforated plate and a reinforced thick stem, it ensures steady flow, robust performance, and excellent chemical compatibility. This funnel is essential for laboratories requiring precise, safe, and repeatable filtration in routine and advanced analytical workflows.

Key Features

• High-density porcelain construction for durability and long service life
• Thick, reinforced stem for improved stability during vacuum filtration
• Fixed perforated plate ensures uniform support for filter papers
• Glazed inside and outside for easy cleaning and chemical resistance (rim unglazed where applicable)
• Excellent thermal resistance, suitable for heated solutions and controlled filtration
• Non-porous, smooth surface minimizes contamination and sample retention
• Strong mechanical strength is ideal for routine, high-frequency laboratory use
• Compatible with standard vacuum filtration systems
