Plug the bottom of the funnel with cotton balls or cotton cloth to create a cotton-filter. Pour the contents of Jar<br />

B through the funnel and into Jar C. Squeeze the root-bark contents inside the filter to press out the remaining<br />

juices. Save the root-bark that has been caught by the filter and place it back into Jar B.<br />

Lab Notes:<br />

Whether filtering material through a cotton-filter or a coffee filter it helps if the thinner parts of the<br />

solution are filtered first, followed by the mushy and more bulky components (which may clog the<br />

pores of your filters as you strain.) The better your filtration, the more rapid and efficient your<br />

emulsions, also resulting in a cleaner product. Cotton must be specifically used. Other fibers have<br />

the potential to react with our solvents. A tea strainer (wire strain) can be a simple way to separate<br />

bulk ruffage. Another way to improve this method is to use a vacuum filter. There are several<br />

varieties, the most affordable being a water vacuum filter that attaches to a household faucet. These<br />

cost about $30.00 and are very quick, useful and effective.<br />
