a separatory funnel is an alternative apparatus for separating liquid layers. it has a valve at the bottom to allow draining off the bottom layer. it can give a better separation between the two liquids.

decantation can also separate solid and liquid mixtures by allowing gravity to pull the solid fragments to settle at the bottom of the container. in laboratory situations, decantation of mixtures containing solids and liquids occur in test tubes. to enhance productivity, test tubes should be placed at a 45° angle to allow sediments to settle at the bottom of the apparatus.

by the 18th century, one of a few theories explaining observed electrical phenomena was the two-fluid theory. this theory is generally attributed to charles françois de cisternay du fay. du fay's theory suggested that electricity was composed of two liquids, which could flow through solid bodies. one liquid carried a positive charge, and the other a negative charge. when these two liquids came into contact with one another, they would produce a neutral charge. this theory dealt mainly with explaining electrical attraction and repulsion, rather than how an object could be charged or discharged.
