INTRODUCTION
Separatory funnels are used in laboratories primarily for liquid extractions, and are intended to
facilitate the separation of two immiscible liquids of different densities into separate layers. Some
funnels are used to add reagent solution into a reaction vessel.They are, therefore, often provided with

INTRODUCTION
Separatory funnels are used in laboratories primarily for liquid extractions, and are intended to
facilitate the separation of two immiscible liquids of different densities into separate layers. Some
funnels are used to add reagent solution into a reaction vessel. They are, therefore, often provided with
a tapered ground joint at the bottom of the delivery stem for joining to vessels having similarly tapered
ground necks. They may also be provided with pressure equalizing side arms.
