Product Information

Just like an oil lamp burns oil, a spirit lamp burns spirits, such as ethyl alcohol. Thus, a spirit lamp is also known as an alcohol lamp or an alcohol burner. You can find them as a regular part of laboratory equipment. The specifications and figures contained in our catalogues are provided as indications only, and are not of a contractual character. VWR reserves the right to change its articles without advance notice according to improvements which might be required by progress in the applicable technologies.

Sterilization is one of a spirit lamp’s main applications in a lab. Spirit lamp flames are frequently used by scientists to sterilize pipettes, test tubes, Inoculating loops or needles & other lab items. The flame’s heat destroys any bacteria or other microbes that may be present, making the apparatus clean & safe for use in investigations.

Alcohol burners are sold by lab suppliers and online, though they're rarely used these days, as electric hotplates or gas torches are safer to handle. The best alcohol for your spirit lamp is denatured alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Denatured alcohol is actually about 5% methanol, with the rest being ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is also known as grain alcohol. When it comes to alcohol for your spirit lamp, you can also use isopropyl alcohol as well.
