All Glass Filter Assembly with Funnel, Fritted Base & Cap, Clamp 47mm and 1L Ground Joint Flask

Filtration is a process that helps to separate the three states of matter namely Solids, Liquids, and Gases. Filtration can be done biologically or chemically in laboratories. This process involves a filter medium, like filter paper which helps to easily trap the solid particles and separate them from liquids.

Filtration Methods

General Filtration – This is the most basic form of filtration in which the liquid is poured through a filter medium. This method works on gravity, hence the liquid flows down the funnel and the solid is left on the filter.
Hot Filtration – In this method of filtration, the solution, filter, and funnel are heated up till the crystals are formed during filtration. It is used to prevent the crystallization of other components in a mixture.
Cold Filtration – This method of filtration is used to quickly cool down a solution and form small crystals. It is usually done when the solid is dissolved in the liquid.
Vacuum Filtration – In this method of filtration, a funnel and a hose are used which help to suck the fluid through the filter by creating a vacuum. This speeds up the separation and the solid gets dried.

Glass Filtration Assembly

Funnel – Chemically Resistant Glass Boro 3.3 Funnel is used.
Clamp – Aluminium Spring Clamp is used.
Disc Filters – 3 Types of filters are used: Glass Filter, PTFE-faced Filter, and Stainless Steel Screen Filter.
Flask – Vacuum Filtering Flask with Glass Connector is used.

The filtration apparatus should be stored in sterilizer ovens to avoid a fast cooling rate.
