Buchner Funnel

The Buchner Funnel is a laboratory filtration device used for vacuum filtration processes. It typically consists of a flat, perforated plate covered with a filter paper, housed in a cylindrical funnel. Made from porcelain, glass, or plastic, the Buchner Funnel allows for rapid filtration by applying vacuum suction, which speeds up the separation of solids from liquids. It is widely used in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical laboratories for efficient solid-liquid separation during sample preparation, purification, and analysis.
