Filter Flask

Whatsapp Order

Filter Flask is a specially designed laboratory glass vessel, typically made from chemically resistant borosilicate glass, featuring a thick-walled body and a side arm for connection to vacuum sources. It is used in vacuum filtration procedures to collect filtrates efficiently while providing durability and chemical resistance. The side arm allows attachment to vacuum pumps or aspirators to create suction, speeding up the filtration process. Filter flasks are essential in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical labs for separating solids from liquids, clarifying solutions, and sample preparation.
