Uses of Glass funnel

• Pouring Liquids:

Glass funnels help pour liquids from one container to another without spilling, especially when transferring to containers with narrow openings.

• Filtration:

They are often used in conjunction with filter paper to separate solids from liquids. The funnel holds the filter paper while the liquid passes through, leaving the solid residue on the paper.

• Mixing:

Glass funnels can be used to mix two or more liquids, allowing for precise control of the pouring process.

• Transferring Solids:

When transferring powders or granular materials, funnels help to direct the flow into a desired container, minimizing waste.

• Measuring:

Some funnels come with graduated markings that allow for measuring the volume of liquids being poured.

• Chemical Reactions:

In some setups, glass funnels can facilitate the controlled addition of reagents to reaction vessels.

• Drying:

Funnels can be used to support filters during the drying process after filtration.

• Centrifugation:

In some cases, funnels are used to hold samples in centrifuge tubes.
