The Glass Stirring Rod is laboratory glassware used for stirring solutions, assisting in solid dissolution, homogenizing liquid mixtures and guiding liquids during transfer procedures. Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, it offers suitable chemical resistance for contact with most reagents used in routine laboratory work and maintains dimensional stability under moderate temperature variations. It is suitable for analytical procedures, solution preparation and bench work that do not require mechanical agitation. It is not suitable for applications that demand high mechanical force or automated stirring.

FAQ
-
Q: Can the glass stirring rod be used with acids and bases?
A: Borosilicate glass 3.3 provides good chemical resistance and is compatible with most acids, bases and solvents under standard laboratory conditions.
-
Q: Does this rod replace magnetic or mechanical stirrers?
A: No. It is intended for manual stirring only and does not replace stirring systems when controlled speed or continuous agitation is required.
-
Q: Can it assist with liquid transfers?
A: Yes. It can be used to guide liquid flow during transfers to reduce splashing, but it does not replace volumetric instruments.
-
Q: Is the rod suitable for direct heating?
A: Although borosilicate glass tolerates moderate temperature variations, the rod is not intended for direct heating or severe thermal shock.
-
Q: Are there dimensional variations between units?
A: Minor dimensional variations may occur due to the glass manufacturing process, without affecting laboratory functionality.
