Stirring Rod, Glass Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Stirring Rod, Glass (Product Code: SLE/CH/229) is a clear, 30cm glass rod for mixing solutions, dissolving solids and guiding liquids during transfer in chemistry practicals. Its 7mm diameter gives a sturdy feel in the hand for everyday bench work, and the glass is both heat resistant and chemical resistant. The rod is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and belongs to its range of chemistry lab glassware in India for schools, colleges and teaching laboratories abroad.

Specifications

Typical Use

Students reach for a glass stirring rod whenever a solid has to be dissolved, a precipitate broken up or a mixture kept uniform — preparing salt solutions, growing crystals, mixing reagents before a titration or stirring during a neutralisation. The 30cm length reaches the bottom of tall beakers and measuring cylinders while keeping fingers clear of the liquid. The same rod doubles as a pouring guide: held against the lip of a beaker, it lets a liquid run down its surface into a funnel without splashing, which is the standard technique taught for filtration and decanting. A drop taken on the tip can also be touched onto indicator paper to check pH.

Stir with a gentle circular motion rather than striking the walls of the vessel, which protects both the rod and the beaker from chipping. Rinse the rod with distilled water between reagents so one solution does not contaminate the next, and lay a hot rod on a clean, dry surface to cool instead of plunging it into cold water. These simple habits keep the rod in service for many terms and are worth building into any school chemistry lab equipment routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the rod?
It is 30cm long with a 7mm diameter, in clear glass.

Can it be used in hot solutions?
Yes. The glass is heat resistant, so it can stir warm or boiling solutions on a hot plate or over a burner. Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving a hot rod straight into cold water.

Is the rod made of borosilicate glass?
The listing specifies heat-resistant, chemical-resistant glass; the exact glass grade is not stated here. Contact us if your purchase specification requires a particular glass type.

Are there any chemicals it should not be used with?
Glass in general is attacked by hydrofluoric acid and, slowly, by hot concentrated alkalis. For those, a polypropylene rod is the safer choice.

How should the rod be cleaned?
Rinse it straight after use with tap water and then distilled water, use a little laboratory detergent for stubborn residues, and leave it to dry on a rack or clean cloth.

How are rods supplied for a full class?
Pack quantities are not listed on this page, so quantities are quoted to your requirement. We supply schools, colleges and distributors across India and international markets — send us your list.
