Glass Rod
Glass Rod (Product Code: SLE/CL/24) is a plain colourless glass stirring rod, approximately 6mm thick and 200mm long, for mixing solutions, helping solids dissolve and guiding liquid while it is poured. It is a basic commodity on the benches of clinic and hospital laboratories, and teaching laboratories in schools and colleges use the same rod for everyday preparation work. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, and is part of the range the company offers as a laboratory glassware supplier in India.

Typical Use
In a clinical laboratory the rod is picked up many times a day: stirring a staining solution before it is filtered, dissolving salts while a buffer is being made up, or mixing a diluted disinfectant in a beaker. Holding the rod against the lip of a beaker while pouring lets the liquid run down the glass instead of splashing, a simple technique taught in every chemistry practical. The rod can also carry a single drop of solution to indicator paper when a quick check of acidity is needed.
Because it is inert and easy to see through, a glass rod does not colour or react with most routine solutions, which is why it remains standard chemistry lab glassware in India alongside beakers and cylinders. Stir with a gentle circular motion rather than tapping the base of the vessel, never use the rod to lever or crush hard solids, and avoid moving it quickly between very hot and cold liquids. Rinse it immediately after use so dried residue does not carry over into the next preparation.
Manufacturer
This rod comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, which produces laboratory glassware, instruments and teaching apparatus in Ambala, Haryana, for hospitals, colleges and schools. Buyers can combine simple items like this with larger clinical and science laboratory orders. Details of the company and its facilities are on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of this glass rod?
It is approximately 6mm in diameter and approximately 200mm long, a length that reaches the bottom of common beakers while keeping your hand clear of the liquid.
Is it made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass?
The listing specifies colourless glass without naming the glass type. If your work involves heating or boiling liquids, ask us through the contact page to confirm the glass grade before ordering.
How should the rod be cleaned?
Rinse it straight after use, wash with laboratory detergent, rinse again with distilled water and let it dry on a rack. Check for chips or cracks before each use and replace a damaged rod.
Can I order a different length or thickness?
This page covers the approximately 200mm rod. If your course or procedure needs another size, tell us and we will let you know what can be offered.
Do you supply rods in bulk for schools and hospitals?
Yes. Institutional and bulk orders are quoted on request, for customers across India and international markets.
What should a quotation request include?
Mention the quantity, delivery location and any other glassware you need, so everything can be quoted and packed together.
