Alcohol Lamp
Alcohol Lamp (Product Code: SCL279/040) is a round borosilicate glass spirit lamp used to provide a small, steady flame for heating test tubes, warming solutions and flaming small tools in school and college labs. It holds 150 ml of fuel and comes with a cap for covering the burner between uses, which makes it handy where no gas supply is fitted. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for any school lab setup in India.

What Is an Alcohol Lamp Used For?
An alcohol lamp is the simplest heat source in a teaching lab. Pupils use it to warm a test tube held in a holder, to heat a small beaker of water on a gauze and tripod, to evaporate a few drops of solution and see crystals form, and in microbiology to flame an inoculating loop before and after use. Because it needs no gas line or electricity, it also travels well to classrooms and field stations.
Borosilicate glass has a low coefficient of expansion, so the lamp copes with the warmth of its own flame. Fill it only when it is cold and unlit, away from other flames, and wipe off any spilt fuel before lighting. To put the flame out, place the cap over it rather than blowing, and keep the cap on during storage to limit evaporation.
OEM Manufacturer
The Alcohol Lamp is glassware made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which does business as ScienceLab and operates as an OEM from its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Labs and distributors receive their lamps directly from the maker, and replacement caps or extra lamps for a growing lab can be requested from the same team — just ask. The company profile has more details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of the Alcohol Lamp?
The Alcohol Lamp holds 150 ml of fuel in a round borosilicate glass body. That gives a useful burning time for a typical school practical session without frequent refilling, though actual time depends on the flame size.
Why is the Alcohol Lamp made of borosilicate glass?
The Alcohol Lamp uses borosilicate glass because it has a low linear coefficient of expansion and a high annealing point. In practice this helps the lamp tolerate the warmth of its own flame better than ordinary soda-lime glass.
How do you put out the Alcohol Lamp safely?
Put out the Alcohol Lamp by gently placing its cap over the flame, which cuts off air; never blow it out. Leave the lamp to cool before refilling, and refill only when no other flame is nearby.
What is the cap of the Alcohol Lamp made of?
The original listing for the Alcohol Lamp describes it as having a “plasma cap”, and the cap material is not stated more clearly. If the cap material matters for your lab, ask us through the contact page and we will confirm it.
Who manufactures the Alcohol Lamp?
The Alcohol Lamp is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers order it directly from the maker.
What information is needed to quote the Alcohol Lamp?
To quote the Alcohol Lamp, we need the number of lamps, product code SCL279/040, the delivery location and whether you want holders, gauze or stands on the same order. We supply institutions and resellers in India and international markets.
