Precise & Stable Liquid Addition under Controlled Conditions
The integrated pressure-equalizing tube ensures a constant flow rate of liquid addition, even under vacuum or inert atmosphere. This prevents pressure imbalances and bubbling, allowing for highly controlled and precise reagent delivery during sensitive reactions.
Superior Chemical Resistance & High Purity (Quartz & PTFE)
Constructed from high-purity fused silica, the funnel resists a wide range of corrosive acids and alkalis. Coupled with an inert PTFE stopcock, it eliminates the risk of contamination from grease or traditional glass stopcocks, making it ideal for high-purity synthesis and analysis.
No Greasing Required & Easy Operation
The PTFE stopcock offers a smooth, leak-free seal without the need for traditional stopcock grease. This not only prevents contamination but also simplifies setup, operation, and cleaning, saving valuable time in the laboratory.
Exceptional Durability & Customization
The robust quartz construction provides excellent resistance to thermal shock and mechanical stress, ensuring a long service life. Furthermore, these funnels can be customized in terms of capacity, joint sizes, and specific configurations to perfectly integrate with diverse experimental setups and unique application requirements.
Application Scenario
Air-Sensitive Chemical Synthesis
Essential for the controlled addition of reagents to reactions conducted under inert gas atmospheres (e.g., nitrogen, argon) or vacuum. The pressure-equalizing arm prevents pressure imbalances, ensuring smooth and consistent liquid flow without exposing sensitive compounds to air.
High-Purity & Contamination-Sensitive Reactions
Ideal for synthesizing or processing chemicals where even trace impurities are unacceptable. The high-purity quartz construction and the non-greased, chemically inert PTFE stopcock eliminate potential contamination from glassware leaching or stopcock grease, crucial for pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and fine chemical production.
Reactions Involving Corrosive or Reactive Reagents
Used for adding strong acids, bases, or other highly corrosive and reactive liquids. The exceptional chemical resistance of both quartz and PTFE ensures the funnel’s integrity and prevents degradation or dangerous leaks when handling aggressive chemicals.
Precise & Controlled Addition for Kinetic Studies or Exothermic Reactions
The pressure-equalizing feature allows for a steady, measured rate of liquid addition, which is critical for controlling reaction kinetics, managing exothermic reactions, or ensuring precise stoichiometry in complex multi-step syntheses.
Handle with care
Quartz glass products are made from valuable materials and must be handled gently to avoid collisions and falls.
Regular maintenance
The maintenance of quartz tubes must be performed regularly to ensure their long-term stable performance. Regularly check the connections, fixings, and mechanical vibrations of the quartz tubes to prevent abnormalities. The exterior of the quartz tubes is prone to contamination from dust and moisture, so they should be cleaned regularly.
Storage environmen
When storing quartz tubes, care should be taken to avoid exposure to mechanical vibrations, shocks, and excessively high temperatures. They should be kept in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature environments.
A PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) stopcock is preferred for several reasons: it eliminates the need for grease, preventing potential contamination of your reagents or product; it offers superior chemical resistance to a wider range of aggressive chemicals compared to glass; and it provides a smoother, more durable, and easier-to-operate seal without the risk of seizing or sticking over time.
While the funnel itself is made from high-purity quartz and possesses excellent thermal stability (withstanding high temperatures like other quartz glassware), dropping funnels are typically used for adding liquids to a reaction, not for direct heating. Therefore, the temperature resistance of the liquid being added and the reaction vessel is usually the limiting factor, rather than the funnel itself needing to withstand extreme direct heat. It will, however, handle the temperature of the contents and ambient lab conditions very well.
