Does Swift Alchemy reduce the time needed to use a Hybridization Funnel?

an alchemist can create alchemical items with astounding speed. It takes an alchemist half the normal amount of time to create alchemical items

Using the vial [sic] requires 10 minutes and a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check; a half-elf has a +5 bonus on this check [...] Success means the two materials are safely mixed into one vial that is the same volume as a normal splash weapon vial; when thrown as a splash weapon, the mixture has the effects of both component substances and creatures are affected as if hit by both. The mixture becomes inert after 24 hours.

It should, yes.

I personally (having used this item with my alchemist) would say no...you may be able to brew brand new alchemical items faster but the funnel is inanimate and does its job in the time listed

However a difference of 5 minutes is not game breaking

Two conflicting answers huh? I'll hit FAQ then.
