Glass Stirrer (Agitator)

Product Code : SCL-CL-11523

Glass Stirrer (Agitator) (SKU SCL-CL-11523) is a solid glass stirring rod, 7 mm in diameter and available in lengths from 200 to 350 mm. Students use it to stir solutions, dissolve solids, guide liquid down into a filter funnel and transfer single drops for testing. It is basic kit for school science, college chemistry and technician training. Science Lab Supplies ships it from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The stirrer is a straight glass rod of 7 mm diameter, offered in lengths between 200 and 350 mm so that it can reach the bottom of anything from a small beaker to a tall flask. The glass is listed as chemical resistant and heat resistant for stirring hot or reactive solutions.

Applications and Experiments for the Glass Stirrer (Agitator)

A glass stirring rod mixes liquids and speeds up dissolving without reacting with the solution, which makes it one of the most used tools on any chemistry bench. It supports practicals in CBSE/NCERT Class 6–12 science and chemistry, B.Sc. laboratories and laboratory assistant training.

• Class 6–9 science: dissolving salt or sugar to show solutions and saturation.
• Class 9–12: pouring a mixture down the rod into a filter funnel during filtration without splashing.
• Salt analysis and titrations: touching a drop of solution onto litmus or indicator paper.
• Crystallisation: scratching the inside of the beaker to start crystal formation.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Glass Stirrer (Agitator) is supplied as a single 7 mm glass rod within the 200–350 mm length range stated above. Tell us which length you prefer when you enquire, and the quotation will list the length and pack quantity, together with any beakers or funnels you add.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Stirring rods wear out and break often, so schools tend to buy them by the pack; a quotation can cover a small replacement lot or enough rods for every student. It gives packing, delivery time and price, and beakers or other glassware can be included on it.

Science Lab Supplies is registered with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. The quickest route to a quotation is the enquiry cart; the contact page handles questions, and the lab tender page is there for tender buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use glass for a stirring rod?
Glass does not react with most laboratory solutions, is easy to clean and lets students see the liquid clearly. This rod is also described as chemical resistant and heat resistant.

Which length should I choose?
Shorter rods near 200 mm suit small beakers and test work, while rods towards 350 mm reach the bottom of tall beakers and flasks. State your length when requesting a quote.

Who supplies the Glass Stirrer (Agitator)?
The glass stirrer is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, which works from Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and resellers request quotations directly and can combine the rods with the rest of their laboratory glassware.

Can it be used with a magnetic stirrer instead?
Both mix liquids. A glass rod is stirred by hand for short tasks, while a magnetic stirrer with a stirrer bar keeps a solution mixing continuously without supervision.

Related Stirring and Mixing Equipment

Stirring goes hand in hand with the vessel being stirred and, for longer mixing, with a magnetic stirrer. These four items from the Chemistry Lab range sit alongside the glass stirrer and can be quoted together with it for a school or college laboratory.

• Glass Rods — another glass rod listing for general bench use.
• Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 250ml — the vessel most often stirred by hand.
• Magnetic Heating Stirrer — for continuous stirring with heating.
• Magnetic Stirrer Bar — the stirring element used with it.
