Funnel Glass
In stock
In veterinary medicine, a glass funnel is a vital tool primarily used for diagnostic parasite testing (such as the Baermann technique for lungworms), meat inspection (Trichinella digestion), and specialized reproductive tasks (like artificial insemination). It allows for safe fluid transfer and highly accurate parasitic isolation.

Specs & features.
Veterinary glass funnels are generally constructed from heavy-duty, laboratory-grade borosilicate glass (3.3). This makes them inert, meaning they won't leach chemicals or react with organic samples. They typically feature a wide, flared conical top for easy pouring and a narrowed lower stem. Depending on their specific veterinary application, they are often paired with rubber tubing, pinch clamps, or precise stopcocks to control the flow and collection of liquids.

- Exceptional Chemical & Thermal Resistance: Borosilicate glass can withstand sterilization (autoclaving) up to 140°C, preventing cross-contamination between fecal or blood samples.
- Complete Transparency: Unlike opaque plastic or stainless steel, clear glass allows veterinarians to visually monitor liquid flow, separation layers, and sedimentation settling in real-time.
- Specialized Geometries: Funnels adapted for veterinary reproduction often feature long, narrow, or uniquely curved stems to ensure gentle contact during delicate procedures like animal insemination.
