Glass Rods
Product Code : SCL-CL-11920
Glass Rods (SKU SCL-CL-11920), often called stirring rods, are solid, clear glass rods 20 cm long and 4 mm in diameter for mixing solutions, guiding liquids while pouring and spreading substances. They are used every day in school, college and research labs. As a laboratory glassware supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies dispatches them from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each rod is a solid, clear glass cylinder, 20 cm long and 4 mm in diameter, that resists heat and laboratory chemicals. Its smooth surface does not react with most solutions, so it can stir hot or reactive liquids and then be rinsed clean for the next experiment.

Applications and Experiments for the Glass Rods
A glass rod is used to stir solutions in beakers, to direct a stream of liquid into a funnel or narrow vessel without splashing, and to spread or transfer small amounts of substances. It is also used to touch a drop of solution onto litmus or indicator paper during tests.
- Class 6–8 science: stirring solutions to show dissolving and saturation.
- Class 9–10 science: guiding liquid into the funnel during filtration.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: transferring a drop of solution to indicator paper in acid-base tests.
- B.Sc. practicals: stirring during precipitation and crystallisation.
Standard Scope of Supply
Glass Rods are supplied as described above, each a 20 cm by 4 mm clear glass rod; the number of rods per pack is confirmed on the quotation, together with any optional items.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Stirring rods break and go missing, so most labs keep a stock. Ask for a quotation for a few rods or a full laboratory supply; it states the packing, delivery time and price, and beakers, funnels or other school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added.
With its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).
