How to Fold a Filter Paper?

Published in Lab Techniques 1 min read

Folding a filter paper involves a few simple steps to create a cone shape that fits into a funnel for filtration. Here's how:

  1. Fold the filter paper in half.
  2. Fold it in half again, but this time, don't make a perfect half. Offset the edges slightly.
  3. Open the paper into a cone, using one side of the second fold and three sides of the first fold.
  4. The cone should now fit neatly into your funnel.
