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 is an everyday tool for students, teachers and technicians in school and college chemistry laboratories. Science Lab Supplies sells the rod from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The rod is a plain solid cylinder of clear glass with no hollow passages or moving parts, so the solution stays visible while you stir. Its 20 cm length reaches the bottom of common beakers and flasks, and the glass is described as heat and chemical resistant, though no temperature limit is given.

Applications and Experiments for the Glass Stirring Rod

A stirring rod is used in almost every wet practical. 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.
• Decanting and filtration: guiding liquid into a filter funnel along the rod.
• Qualitative analysis: stirring test solutions and touching a drop onto indicator paper.

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

Standard Scope of Supply

Each piece is one clear Glass Stirring Rod, 20 cm long and 4 mm in diameter. No beaker, flask, reagent, storage case or other accessory is part of the listing; order rods in the quantity you need and add any vessels to the same quotation.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Glass Stirring Rod?
It is 20 cm long with a 4 mm diameter, a slender size that suits beakers, conical flasks and test tubes used in routine practicals.

Can it be used in hot liquids?
The glass is described as heat resistant, but no temperature limit is stated. It can stir warm solutions; avoid direct flame and sudden temperature changes that could crack it.

Who supplies the Glass Stirring Rod?
Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India is the supplier, packing rods for classroom sets, laboratory stock and tender quantities on request.

How does a glass rod help when pouring?
Held against the lip of the source vessel, the rod lets liquid run down it into the receiving vessel, giving better control of direction and flow and fewer drips.
