Description
Magnesia rods approx. 140 x 1,8 mm serve as slender high-temperature tools for stirring melts, transferring small solid samples or supporting beads during classical flame tests and qualitative inorganic analysis. Each rod measures approximately 140 mm in length with a diameter of 1,8 mm, providing a convenient handle length while remaining thin enough for precise manipulation. Fabricated from magnesia, the rods tolerate the thermal conditions of Bunsen burners and simple laboratory furnaces. Supplied in packs of 25 pieces by manufacturer Hecht, they constitute economical consumables for educational practicals, routine analytical workflows and research settings that require frequent replacement of heat-resistant stirring or support elements. The uniform dimensions ensure consistent handling characteristics across the pack. These rods complement other magnesia laboratory ware and fit standard storage racks or trays used on the analytical bench.
This article is part of Stands, rods & bases, in Stands, clamps & racks.

Questions about Magnesia rods ca. 140 x 1,8 mm
What is this article?
Magnesia rods ca. 140 x 1,8 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht for laboratory use. It sits in Stands, rods & bases, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labware.
A retort stand is a base and a rod. The base mass keeps a clamped flask from tipping. Rod diameter decides which bossheads fit. A light base under a heavy condenser is how glassware falls.
A stand, a clamp and a rack hold something still so the hands can do the work. A bosshead locks a clamp to a rod. A test-tube rack keeps tubes upright and in an order the operator can read back. The failure is almost always mechanical: the clamp slips, or the rack does not match the tube diameter. The glass they support is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
