Laboratory Funnel, Stainless Steel

Laboratory Funnel, Stainless Steel

The Laboratory Funnel, Stainless Steel is a durable, reusable transfer and filtration aid designed for medical, clinical, and laboratory environments where cleanliness, chemical resistance, and consistent performance are essential. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, it supports routine liquid handling tasks such as decanting, sample transfer, media preparation, and controlled pouring into narrow-mouth containers. Its rigid body maintains shape under frequent use, helping deliver predictable flow and minimizing the risk of cracking or deformation associated with disposable alternatives.

Engineered for dependable handling of a wide range of solutions, this stainless steel funnel offers strong resistance to corrosion and staining when used with many common aqueous reagents, buffers, and cleaning agents. The smooth, non-porous surface helps reduce residue retention and supports efficient rinsing between procedures, making it suitable for workflows where cross-contamination control is a priority. The funnel’s balanced geometry promotes steady drainage and more controlled filling of bottles, cylinders, flasks, and other vessels used in clinical and research settings.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for long service life and robust mechanical strength.
• Smooth, seamless surface supports straightforward cleaning and reduces build-up of residues.
• Rigid funnel body maintains shape for consistent flow characteristics during repeated use.
• Corrosion-resistant performance suitable for many routine laboratory and medical solutions.
• Reusable design supports cost-effective operations and reduced waste compared to single-use funnels.

Typical Uses

• Transferring prepared solutions into storage bottles or dispensing containers.
• Decanting supernatants and consolidating liquids during sample preparation.
• Guiding liquids into narrow openings to reduce spills on benches or equipment.
• Supporting filtration setups when paired with compatible filter media, where applicable to the procedure.

Cleaning and Care

After each use, rinse promptly to prevent drying residues. Wash using laboratory-approved detergents and non-abrasive tools to protect the finish. Rinse thoroughly with purified water as required by your protocol and allow to dry completely before storage. For high-sensitivity workflows, follow your facility’s validated decontamination and sterilization procedures appropriate for stainless steel instruments and accessories. Inspect the funnel regularly for dents, rough edges, or residue retention points, and remove from service if integrity is compromised.

Selection Guidance

Choose a funnel size that matches your target container opening and the volume you routinely handle. Ensure the stem length and diameter are compatible with your receiving vessel to promote stable placement and reduce splashback. When used in regulated environments, confirm material specifications and cleaning validation requirements with your quality system and standard operating procedures.
