Buchner Filtration Kits

Used to filter liquids under vacuum. Filter papers used in conjunction with the Buchner Flask must be wet-strengthened (WS). Items in the kit can be purchased separately.

Kit Contents:

• Buchner Flask, H.D Glass – 500ml
• Buchner Funnel, Porcelain – 90mm
• Water Jet Vacuum Pump – Plastic
• Buchner Funnel, Gooch Rubber – 41 x 29mm
• Filter Paper, Whatman W/S114 – 90mm (Wet Strength)

Properties:

This kit is designed for the vacuum filtration of liquids, enabling efficient separation of solids from liquids under reduced pressure.

Specification:

• Filtration Flask Capacity: 500ml
• Funnel Material: Porcelain for chemical resistance
• Filter Paper: Wet-strengthened to resist tearing during filtration
• Vacuum Pump: Plastic, compatible with standard lab water supplies

Uses and Application:

• Ideal for laboratories performing filtrations under reduced pressure.
• Commonly used in chemical and biological experiments to isolate solid materials from liquids.
• Suitable for use in educational, research, and industrial laboratory environments.

Storage:

• Store in a clean, dry place.
• Ensure glassware is kept safely to avoid breakage.
• Keep filter paper in a moisture-free environment.

Hazardous Information:

• Use caution with glass components to avoid injury from breakage.
• Vacuum filtration can pose risks of implosion if glassware is damaged.

Safety Measures:

• Inspect all glass components for cracks or chips before use.
• Ensure the filter paper is wet-strengthened for reliable filtration under vacuum.
• Use appropriate eye protection to guard against splashes or breakage.
• Always handle with care to avoid vacuum-related accidents.
