Laboratory Spirit Burner
Product Code : SCL-CL-11917
Laboratory Spirit Burner (SKU SCL-CL-11917), also called a spirit lamp, is a 100 ml metal-bodied burner that draws fuel up a cotton wick to give a clean, low-heat flame. It suits schools without a gas supply, microbiology benches and field labs that need gentle heating or flame sterilisation. Science Lab Supplies can pack and forward it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Listed below is each specification of the 100 ml wick burner. In short, a metal housing holds the fuel, a cotton wick drawn through the collar sets the flame size before lighting, and a small metal cap snuffs the flame and stops the fuel evaporating when the burner is not in use.

Applications and Experiments for the Laboratory Spirit Burner
The spirit burner provides a small, steady flame where a Bunsen burner is not available or not needed. It can warm test tubes and small beakers, melt wax or sulphur samples and sterilise inoculating loops and needles in biology and microbiology practicals at school and college level.
- Class 6–8 science: heating small quantities of substances to observe physical and chemical changes.
- Class 9–10 science: warming test tubes in simple reaction and solubility experiments, standing them afterwards in the 12-place Stand for Cylinders (Test Tube Rack).
- Microbiology practicals: flaming Inoculating Loops before streaking a plastic Petri Dish.
- Rural and mobile science labs without piped gas.
Fill the burner only when it is cold and unlit, keep the fuel container away from the flame, and always extinguish it with the cap. The fuel is flammable, so students should use it under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Laboratory Spirit Burner is supplied as a single unit with its metal housing, cotton wick and snuffer cap as described above. Spare wicks, a tripod stand or a wire gauze can be added to the same quotation if you are equipping a complete heating station.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A single burner for a demonstration table or one per student group for a full class can be quoted. The quotation states packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and tripods, gauzes or other school chemistry lab equipment in India can be quoted with it.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. To have burners priced for each student group, put them in the enquiry cart or describe the order on the contact page; government and institutional bids are covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the flame size adjusted?
Before lighting, pull more wick through the collar for a larger flame or less for a smaller one. Adjust only when the burner is unlit and cool, then light the wick and replace the cap to put it out.
What fuel does the spirit burner use?
It burns a liquid spirit fuel that the cotton wick draws up from the 100 ml reservoir. Store fuel away from flames, refill only when the burner is out and cold, and keep the cap on between sessions.
Who supplies the Laboratory Spirit Burner?
Quotations for this burner are issued by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, for individual schools, colleges and tender contractors, and tripods, gauzes and other bench heating items can be listed beside it.
What is the metal cap for?
The cap is placed over the wick to snuff out the flame safely, and it also stops the fuel evaporating when the burner is not in use, so the reservoir stays filled between lessons.
