A spirit lamp is like an ordinary lamp,but this lamp uses ethanol ie.ethyl alcohol as a fuel.This lamp is used mostly in laboratories and mainly inside the laminar air flow chamber which is a sterile cabin where most of the biotech. and microbiology practicles are held.
Ethanol is used as a fuel instead of other commercial fuels because this will easily evaporate and will not produce smoke and hence we can avoid contaminations.
