Quick answer: An Ignition Tube is a small, thick-walled glass tube designed to withstand direct flame heating for chemical decomposition and fusion reactions during qualitative analysis. Tube, Ignition is priced at approximately ₹180 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
An ignition tube is a small glass tube built to withstand the intense, direct heat of a Bunsen burner flame, used for chemical decomposition and fusion reactions where a solid sample needs to be strongly heated. Its heat-resistant construction is designed to maintain structural integrity under this direct-flame heating, which ordinary glassware cannot safely handle. It’s a standard tool for qualitative analysis and decomposition demonstrations in college and school chemistry laboratories.

Applications
- Chemical decomposition reactions requiring direct flame heating
- Fusion reactions in qualitative analysis
- College and school chemistry laboratory practicals
- General-purpose strong-heating demonstrations
Care & Maintenance
- Use appropriate tongs or clamps when heating directly over a flame
- Allow to cool fully before handling after use
- Inspect for cracks before each use, as repeated direct-flame heating stresses the glass over time
