Learning more about Paper Filtration . . .

. . . one step at a time

Both methods turn a flat filter paper disc into a conical shape fitting a standard 60° funnel so it can hold more solution and use gravity filtration more efficiently.
While a quadrant folded filter paper is a disk simply pre-folded in a quarter of a circle, a fluted filter paper has been pre-pleated to minimize the contact surface of the filter with the funnel, decreasing filtration time.
