A spirit lamp, or alcohol burner, is a portable, low-heat flame source utilized in veterinary clinics and laboratories. It is primarily used for flame-sterilizing minor surgical and diagnostic tools (like inoculating loops), warming stains for parasitology, and melting minor waxes without needing a pressurized gas line.

- Fuel Source: Powered by clean-burning alcohols such as denatured ethanol, methanol, or 90%+ isopropyl alcohol.
- Portability: Completely self-contained and free of gas hoses, making it ideal for mobile veterinary units or working in different areas of the clinic.
- Controlled Flame: Produces a smaller, cooler flame compared to a Bunsen burner (usually peaking around 2 inches in height), which minimizes the risk of accidental burns.
