Disposable Funnels Help With Research Into Lead Paint Testing Methods
WEBWIRE – Friday, June 12, 2009
(Elk Grove Village, IL, June 12, 2009) – Researchers with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and RTI International investigating new methods for paint collection and lead testing are using Fast Funnel® disposable funnels to assist in safely and easily collecting samples (Journal of Environmental Monitoring, Rapid new methods for paint collection and lead extraction, 2009, 11, 1, DOI: 10.1039/b807679k). Made from heavy-stock paper and designed for one-time use to eliminate the impurities and cross contamination found on reusable funnels, Fast Funnel insures that test samples aren’t contaminated from other sources and allows for safe disposal should lead be found. Additionally, flexible sidewalls and a unique, square profile allow these funnels to closely contour test surfaces thereby improving sample collection under the team’s procedures. Researchers hope their work ultimately leads to the development of a lead paint test kit that meets EPA specifications. As Fast Funnel comes folded flat, they keep out dirt and store easily but open up into full size funnels making them well suited for this application. Made from SFI and FSC certified renewable materials and biodegradable, they're also an environmentally friendly product.

Developed, produced and distributed by S&S Concepts, Inc. the Fast Funnel disposable funnel is the only product of its kind. A product offering an evolutionary approach to the age-old task of pouring a substance from one point to another.
Although the simple task of pouring through a funnel is usually taken for granted, the team at S&S observed several important needs missing in this common practice
Convenience - finding a funnel where you need one, when you need one Contamination - once you find a funnel, chances are it's not clean. Clean up - no chemicals, rags, or paper towels needed for proper cleaning
The team at S&S then engineered a product that would eliminate these overlooked needs. They designed a compact funnel, packaged a select number of funnels together, and made each funnel disposable thereby elimating cleaning, chemicals and dirty rags.
