N-0231 General Lab Supplies
Description
It consists of a round glass container that holds liquid fuel such as ethanol, methanol, or denatured alcohol.
The glass body is transparent, allowing easy monitoring of fuel levels.
A wick protrudes from a narrow opening at the top, which absorbs the fuel and is ignited to produce the flame.
The lamp includes a removable lid that acts as a snuffer to safely extinguish the flame and prevent fuel evaporation when not in use.
Features and Specifications
Typically, these lamps have a capacity ranging from about 120 ml to 250 ml.
They produce a flame that is hot enough for common laboratory tasks but cooler than a Bunsen burner, making them safer for general use.
The lamp is portable and easy to handle with good fuel efficiency.
Glass construction offers clarity but requires careful handling to avoid breakage.
Used widely in biological, chemical, and medical laboratories for heating small vessels, sterilizing instruments, and performing simple reactions.
Applications
Popular in educational and research settings for controlled heat applications.
Ideal for flame sterilization, heating small instruments or test tubes, and conducting flame tests.
Used where gas burners are not available or practical.
This type of spirit lamp balances safety, ease of use, and functionality, making it a laboratory staple.
