The Laboratory Funnels category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Small differences in material, dimensions, cleanliness and closure design can affect compatibility, contamination risk and ease of handling. A well-matched setup balances closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material, helping the laboratory avoid unnecessary rework, difficult cleaning or premature replacement.
Consumables work best when vessel material, capacity, closure, cleanliness and disposal or reuse requirements are selected as part of the complete method. The same principle applies across research, clinical, education, industrial, food and quality-control laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Laboratory Consumables & Glassware range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Funnels range
Our collection covers use a ribbed funnel design, these funnels for corrosive chemicals, benefits of a funnel holder with a boss head, and vitlab filter inserts be reused, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Use a ribbed funnel design
The internal ribs in LLG polypropylene funnels prevent filter paper from sealing against the glass, allowing air to escape and ensuring a faster, more consistent filtration rate. When comparing options, consider closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, and sterility or cleanliness. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. This is especially valuable when teams need to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
These funnels for corrosive chemicals
Polypropylene funnels from LLG and VITLAB offer excellent resistance to many acids and bases; however, for highly aggressive solvents, a DWK Duran glass or Bohlender PTFE funnel may be required. When comparing options, consider temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Benefits of a funnel holder with a boss head
LLG funnel holders with integrated boss heads allow you to attach the holder directly to a retort stand without needing additional clamps, simplifying your filtration assembly. When comparing options, consider sterility or cleanliness, material, and capacity and dimensions. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. In practice, this supports efforts to standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
VITLAB filter inserts be reused
VITLAB filter inserts are designed for durability and can typically be cleaned and reused, but they should be inspected for particulate buildup to maintain flow efficiency. When comparing options, consider material, capacity and dimensions, and graduation or tolerance. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories standardise routine bench work and reduce interruptions caused by mismatched everyday supplies. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a ribbed funnel design?
The internal ribs in LLG polypropylene funnels prevent filter paper from sealing against the glass, allowing air to escape and ensuring a faster, more consistent filtration rate. Laboratories should compare temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are these funnels suitable for corrosive chemicals?
Polypropylene funnels from LLG and VITLAB offer excellent resistance to many acids and bases; however, for highly aggressive solvents, a DWK Duran glass or Bohlender PTFE funnel may be required. The final choice should reflect temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
What is the advantage of a funnel holder with a boss head?
LLG funnel holders with integrated boss heads allow you to attach the holder directly to a retort stand without needing additional clamps, simplifying your filtration assembly. For funnels, also check temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material so the product fits the complete procedure.
Can VITLAB filter inserts be reused?
VITLAB filter inserts are designed for durability and can typically be cleaned and reused, but they should be inspected for particulate buildup to maintain flow efficiency. For funnels, also check temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material so the product fits the complete procedure.
What should I check before ordering funnels?
The most important points are temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, material, and capacity and dimensions. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. Before ordering, confirm temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
