Conical Flasks

Named after their German inventor, Emil Erlenmeyer, these flasks have a characteristic conical shape similar to the other laboratory flasks, in the form of a wide base and a tapering neck. They may have a graduated scale etched on the body along with a label stating the capacity (in mL or L) and the manufacturer’s logo. They are either made of glass or plastic and are available in a wide range of sizes. Conical flasks are typically transparent, but in case the flask needs to be used for light sensitive chemicals, amber coloured flasks are also available. If they do not have a provision for a plug or stopper, a cotton plug or aluminium foil can be used to cover these flasks to prevent contamination by foreign substances.

Their characteristic shape allows efficient and spill-proof mixing of substances inside the flask. These flasks are ideal for titration as they support filter funnels and can be placed under a burette. Multiple functions like heating, cooling or storing substances can be done smoothly using a conical flask. Due to their minimum solvent loss properties, these flasks are also used for boiling liquids and for recrystallization. Sometimes, the glass ones are also used for preparing media or culturing microorganisms as they can be sterilized in an autoclave.

The most common range of sizes available is 50mL, 100mL, 250mL, 500mL and 1000mL flasks. One can chose the suitable size as required and conveniently buy online on Biomall.in.
