Funnel Holder
Free!
A funnel holder is an adjustable clamp that secures a funnel to a stand for safe, hands-free transfers and filtration. It aligns the spout with your receiving vessel, reduces spills and breakage, and frees both hands for accurate pouring. Choose it for research, QC, and teaching labs that want cleaner workflows, better repeatability, and a compact setup that fits powder, liquid, separatory, and Buchner funnels of varying diameters.
Description
A funnel holder is a stand- or rack-mounted device that grips a funnel securely so liquids can be transferred or filtered hands-free. It positions the funnel at the right height and angle above your vessel, preventing slips, kinks, and spills while you pour or pull vacuum. Adjustable jaws or rings accept a wide range of funnel diameters, from powder and liquid funnels to separatory and Buchner funnels, making it a reliable fixture for busy labs.
Key features and benefits:
• Stable, non-marring grip with adjustable jaws or rings for different funnel sizes
• Height and angle adjustment for precise alignment with beakers, flasks, or filtration flasks
• Mounts to ring stands, lattice frames, or bench posts; compact designs save space
• Corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., polypropylene, stainless, PTFE-coated parts) for long service life
• Smooth surfaces that wipe clean quickly to support good lab practice
• Optional quick-release knobs for fast setup and changeover
Common use cases and industries:
• Gravity or vacuum filtration, solvent transfers, and sample preparation
• Separatory funnel draining, phase collection, and column packing support
• Research, QC, and teaching laboratories in chemicals, pharma, food, environmental testing
Comparison guidance:
• Versus improvised supports or holding by hand, a funnel holder improves safety, reduces breakage, and yields more consistent results
• Versus fixed rings, adjustable holders fit more diameters and allow fine positioning; plastic versions excel with corrosive media, while metal frames provide extra rigidity
Selection notes:
• Match holder material to chemical exposure and cleaning method
• Confirm compatibility with your stand or frame and allow clearance for receiving vessels or drip trays
