Glass Stirring Rod

Product Code : SCL-LG-11982

Glass Stirring Rod (SKU SCL-LG-11982) is a solid, clear glass rod 20 cm long and 4 mm in diameter, used to mix solutions, help solids dissolve, guide liquid during pouring and spread small amounts of material. It suits students, teachers and technicians in school and college chemistry laboratories doing routine solution preparation. Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala business in India, can quote rods in any count for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The 20 cm x 4 mm rod is specified point by point in the table below. In short, it is a plain solid cylinder of clear glass with no hollow passages or moving parts, so the solution stays visible while you stir; the glass is heat and chemical resistant, with operating limits confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Glass Stirring Rod

A stirring rod can be used in most wet practicals. Students stir to dissolve salts, keep suspensions mixed before sampling, and pour along the rod so liquid runs cleanly into a funnel or beaker instead of down the outside of the source vessel.

• NCERT Class 6–9 science: dissolving, filtration and separation of mixtures.
• Class 11–12 chemistry: dissolving solutes for standard solutions and transferring them without loss into a Volumetric Flask.
• Decanting and filtration: guiding liquid along the rod into a Funnel Filtering, 60° angle with stem.
• Qualitative analysis: stirring test solutions and touching a drop onto Universal Ph Indicator paper.

Stir with a gentle circular motion rather than striking the vessel wall, and set aside any chipped or cracked rod.
