A picture of an Alcohol Lamp. Alcohol Lamp is a piece of laboratory equipment used to produce an open flame for heating purposes. It consists of a metal or glass container filled with alcohol, which is ignited to provide a controlled flame. This tool is essential in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields for tasks such as heating substances, sterilizing equipment, and conducting experiments that require precise temperature control. For STEM students, mastering the use of an alcohol lamp is important for performing experiments safely and effectively.
