Wood Splints
Product Code : LSK-CL-10088
Wood Splints (SKU LSK-CL-10088) are thin wooden sticks used in school chemistry to carry a flame to a burner and for the glowing splint test that confirms oxygen. They belong on every bench where students prepare and identify gases, from middle-school science to Class 11–12 chemistry. Science Lab Supplies ships them out of Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors as part of its school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
A wood splint is a plain, slender stick of wood. Lit at one end, it carries a flame safely to a Bunsen or spirit burner; blown out so only the tip glows, it becomes a simple detector that relights in oxygen. The listing gives no length or pack count, so the quotation confirms both.

Applications and Experiments for the Wood Splints
Splints are used wherever a class needs to light a burner or identify a gas. A glowing splint relights in oxygen, while a burning one gives a squeaky pop with hydrogen and goes out in carbon dioxide, which makes this simple stick a staple of gas-testing practicals in secondary science.
- Class 7–8 science: lighting burners and spirit lamps for heating activities.
- Class 10 science (NCERT): testing the gas from zinc and dilute acid with a burning splint.
- Class 11 chemistry: confirming oxygen from decomposing hydrogen peroxide with a glowing splint.
- Teacher demonstrations of combustion and the part oxygen plays in burning.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Wood Splints are supplied as described above: plain wooden splints for burner lighting and glowing-splint tests. The listing does not state a pack count or length, so your quotation gives the pack size. Burners and gas jars are separate items.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order a single pack for one classroom or enough to stock every chemistry bench in a school; the quotation from Science Lab Supplies sets out packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Burners, test tubes and gas preparation kits can be listed in the same enquiry.
As a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the glowing splint test?
It is the standard school test for oxygen. A splint is lit, blown out so only the tip glows, and pushed into the gas; if the gas is oxygen, the splint bursts back into flame.
Can these splints be used to test for hydrogen?
Yes. A burning splint held at the mouth of a test tube of hydrogen gives a squeaky pop, which is how students confirm the gas from a metal and acid reaction.
Who supplies the Wood Splints?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory equipment supplier in India based in Ambala, handles these splints with the rest of its chemistry range, so splints and burners can share one quotation.
How many splints come in a pack?
The listing does not give a pack count. Send the quantity you need through the contact page and the quotation will state the pack size and number of packs.
Related Gas-Testing and Heating Equipment
A splint is only useful with a flame to light it and a gas to test. These four Chemistry Lab items cover the flame sources and gas generation that splint tests depend on.
- Bunsen Burner (Pack of Two) — gas burners that splints are used to light.
- Spirit Burner for Science Laboratory — a flame source for labs without gas.
- Alcohol Lamp — spirit lamp for small-scale heating.
- Simple Gas Preparation Kit — makes the gases that splints identify.
