Dear Penny, When I have needed a bunsen burner and there was none available, I have used the butane type of burners with the disposable refills. They work well, and work for flame tests too. Flinn has AP1032 Portable Lab Burner $45.71 each, AP1033 is replacement burner cartridge at $12.31 each. Ask for a quantity discount. Hope this helps.

We have two nice lab rooms that really don't need remodeling so we are thinking of going to an alternative to Bunsen burners. Specifically, we are considering the electric Bunsen burner found in the Daigger catalog. They are expensive, but not as expensive as remodeling two lab rooms. Has anyone seen these? Can you do flame tests with them? Penny Blue Physics Instructor Lyons High School Lyons, KS 67554 620-257-5114 pblue@xxxxxxxxxx
