What Is Glass Rod Used For?
The 1.5 m rod is normally cut into stirring rods of a convenient length and round the cut ends in a Bunsen flame. A glass rod stirs solutions, carries a single drop onto litmus or indicator paper, and guides liquid down its length when pouring or decanting into a filter funnel so nothing splashes. Rubbed with silk, a glass rod becomes positively charged, a standard demonstration in lessons on static electricity in middle-school science and electric charges in class 12 physics. Cutting a glass rod and fire-polishing its ends is also one of the basic laboratory techniques in the class 11 chemistry practical syllabus. To cut it, scratch once with a file, wrap it in a cloth and snap it, then flame the ends until smooth; heat soda glass gently and let it cool slowly.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the rods are listed in packs of 10 and the minimum order is 10 units, so confirm with JLab how many packs your order needs.
- Related items — add glass tubing, policeman stirring rods or friction cloths to the same enquiry.
- Delivery — give the destination so long lengths can be packed for the journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the glass rods?
They are soda glass, 6–7 mm in outside diameter and 1.5 m long, packed 10 to a pack.
What is a glass rod used for in the lab?
Mainly as a stirring rod, for transferring drops of liquid, for guiding liquid into a funnel during filtration and for static-electricity experiments.
Can the rods be cut to shorter stirrers?
Yes. Scratch the rod with a file, snap it inside a cloth and fire-polish the ends in a Bunsen flame. Soda glass softens easily in the flame, so the ends round off quickly.
Why does a glass rod become charged when rubbed with silk?
Friction transfers electrons from the glass to the silk, leaving the glass with a positive charge that can attract small bits of paper or deflect a charged pith ball.
Who manufactures this glass rod?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a maker of laboratory glassware and teaching apparatus in India, incorporated in 2017 with its works on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The glass rod comes from JLab’s own works and not from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy from the source, each pack is visually checked before it leaves, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Cameroon in Central Africa, Ireland in Western Europe, Vanuatu in Oceania, Ukraine in Eastern Europe and Tanzania in East Africa.
