Campingaz is a globally recognized brand that has been a pioneer in portable energy and outdoor equipment since 1949. Originally founded in France, the company revolutionized mobile heating and cooking with the introduction of the iconic blue "Bleuet" gas cylinder. While widely celebrated in the outdoor leisure market, Campingaz has successfully translated its expertise in gas technology into the scientific and industrial sectors. Their laboratory-grade solutions are engineered for high safety standards, offering researchers and technicians reliable flame sources in environments where stationary gas lines are unavailable. Today, as part of the Newell Brands portfolio, Campingaz continues to lead with innovative "Clip & Go" systems and robust gas canisters that empower laboratory mobility across Europe and the world.
The Campingaz range at LabFriend features a specialized selection of portable heating tools primarily found within our General Laboratory Consumables and Heating and Cooling Technology categories. The portfolio is headlined by the Labogaz series, which offers compact Bunsen burners designed for precise heating, sterilization, and glasswork. For more intensive thermal tasks, the Soudogaz line provides ergonomic blowtorches ideal for soldering, brazing, and high-temperature combustion. These instruments are powered by the brand’s high-purity butane and propane gas cartridges, which feature self-sealing valves for maximum safety during assembly and storage. By choosing Campingaz through LabFriend, you benefit from competitive pricing and fast shipping on versatile heating equipment designed for both field research and stationary laboratory applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can Campingaz Labogaz burners be used for microbiology sterilization?
Yes, the Labogaz series provides a stable, high-temperature flame ideal for sterilizing inoculation loops and needles in microbiology and life science settings.
2. Is it safe to remove the gas cartridge before it is empty?
For models using "Plus" valve cartridges (like the CV470), the cartridge can be safely disconnected even when not empty. However, pierceable cartridges (like the C206) must remain attached until completely empty.
3. How long does a standard gas cartridge last during continuous use?
Battery life depends on the burner model and flame intensity, but a standard CV470 cartridge typically provides several hours of continuous operation for a Labogaz burner.
4. Are Campingaz products suitable for high-school laboratory experiments?
Absolutely. Due to their stability and ease of use, they are a preferred choice for educational environments where safety and simple operation are paramount.
