What Is Laboratory Spirit Used For?
Most bottles of spirit in a school lab end up in spirit lamps, which give a clean, small flame for flaming inoculation loops and needles, warming a stained slide gently, or heating a test tube in a botany practical. Spirit is also the usual liquid for wiping grease and fingerprints off glass slides before mounting, cleaning dissection instruments after use, and swabbing work surfaces at the end of a microbiology session. In slide-making work, alcohol is used to dehydrate stained sections before mounting, and teachers often keep collected specimens in spirit for short-term study.
The word spirit can mean different alcohol-based products in different syllabi and regions, so tell us whether your manual specifies rectified, methylated or another type and we will confirm what this pack supplies. Treat it as a flammable liquid: refill lamps only after they have been put out and cooled, never overfill the reservoir, decant from the 2 litre pack into a smaller labelled bottle for bench use, and store the main container in a cool cupboard away from flames.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is one pack of Spirit?
One pack of Spirit contains 2 litres of analytical reagent grade laboratory spirit, supplied with an MSDS, which makes it convenient for refilling several spirit lamps and cleaning glassware across a full term of practicals.
Is this Spirit rectified spirit or methylated spirit?
This Spirit is listed as laboratory spirit of analytical reagent grade without a named type. If your procedure requires rectified or methylated spirit specifically, confirm with us through the contact page before ordering, or choose the separate Methylated Spirit or Ethanol listings.
Can Spirit be used to clean microscope lenses?
Use Spirit for slides, dissection instruments and benches. For objective and eyepiece lenses, follow the microscope maker's cleaning advice instead, because solvents can harm some lens coatings and the cements that hold lens elements in place.
What is the shelf life of Spirit?
The shelf life of Spirit depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no blanket period is quoted. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container tightly closed in a cool place so the alcohol does not evaporate.
Who supplies Spirit?
Spirit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and distributors, usually together with spirit lamps, replacement wicks and dissection sets for the same biology practicals.
What is needed for an institutional quotation for Spirit?
For an institutional quotation for Spirit, send the product code SCL438/0126, the number of 2 litre packs, the delivery address and your billing details. If spirit lamps and wicks are also needed, list them so the set can be quoted together.
Can Spirit be supplied in bulk for several schools?
Yes. Multi-location and distributor orders for Spirit are handled for India and international markets; because it is a flammable liquid, transport rules and packing are discussed and confirmed at the quotation stage for each destination.
