A glass rod, also known as a laboratory glass stirring rod, is a simple yet essential lab equipment used for mixing, stirring, and guiding liquids during chemical experiments. Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, it is chemically resistant, glass rod for mixing chemicals, heat-resistant, and ideal for precise laboratory work.
Where Is a Glass Rod Used?
Glass rods are widely used in:
- Chemical laboratories
- Educational labs (schools, colleges, universities)
- Research laboratories
- Pharmaceutical laboratories
- Industrial and quality control labs
How to Use a Glass Rod
- Place the glass rod into the liquid or solution.
- Stir gently to mix chemicals evenly.
- Use the rod to guide liquid while pouring from one container to another to prevent spillage.
- Clean the glass rod after use with distilled water and dry properly.
