Glass Stirring Rod - 250 mm Labware Made of Borosilicate

The 250 mm Borosilicate Glass Stirring Rod is a simple reusable tool for manually mixing compatible liquids, solutions, suspensions, and laboratory preparations. Published dimensions are approximately 250 mm (10 inches) long and 6 mm in diameter, providing extra reach for many common beakers and other open laboratory vessels.

The rod is made from solid borosilicate glass and has flame-polished ends. Smooth rounded ends can reduce scraping against glass vessels when compared with rough or unfinished glass, but stirring technique still matters. Avoid striking the side or bottom of a vessel, especially when working with thin-wall glassware.

A 250 mm Borosilicate Glass Stirring Rod can also assist with directing a liquid stream during careful pouring or decanting. The transparent nonporous glass surface is straightforward to inspect between uses. Cleaning methods should be chosen according to the material being handled and the requirements of the next procedure.

Before use, check the full length of the rod for chips, cracks, sharp edges, or impact damage. Do not use a damaged stirring rod. Borosilicate glass provides useful thermal and chemical characteristics, but avoid inappropriate thermal shock and verify compatibility with the specific substances and temperatures involved. Use appropriate gloves and other personal protective equipment when the material being mixed requires them.

The 250 mm Borosilicate Glass Stirring Rod is a practical general-purpose mixing accessory for laboratories, workshops, formulation areas, and other technical settings. Browse beakers and related tools in our Borosilicate Glass Laboratory Equipment collection.
