Test Tube Holder, Metal Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Test Tube Holder, Metal (Product Code: SLE/CH/231) grips tubes of 15–25mm diameter in a strong metal spring clip, carried on a strip of metal that is set into a wooden handle. Its wider jaw range makes it the holder to reach for when heating larger test tubes and boiling tubes whose diameter falls within that span, while the wooden grip keeps the hand comfortable. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for chemistry and biology practicals, and is part of the chemistry lab equipment it supplies in India and abroad.

Specifications

Typical Use

This holder is used where the tube is too wide for a small wooden peg: heating a larger volume of liquid in a boiling tube, preparing a gas from a solid mixture, or lifting tubes in and out of a hot water bath during food tests and enzyme experiments. The strong spring clip closes firmly on the glass, so a heavier, fuller tube stays put while it is tilted over the flame. Metal jaws also avoid the scorching that wooden jaws can suffer when they drift too close to the burner.

Squeeze the clip, slide the tube in close to its mouth and release. Hold the holder only by the wooden handle, because the metal strip can warm up near a flame, and point the open end of the tube away from yourself and others. Let the clip cool before storing it with other apparatus. For schools buying from a school laboratory equipment supplier in India, pairing this holder with the peg-type version covers both narrow and wide tubes on the same bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diameter of tube does it accept?
Tubes from 15 to 25mm in diameter, which covers wider test tubes and many boiling tubes.

How does it differ from the wooden peg-type holder?
This model uses a strong metal spring clip on a metal strip in a wooden handle and takes wider tubes. The peg-type holder is all wood and is sized for narrower tubes.

Does the metal part get hot?
It can warm up if held close to the flame. Keep the clip above the flame, hold only the wooden handle, and allow it to cool before putting it away.

Can it be used with a water bath?
Yes, lifting tubes in and out of a hot water bath is a common use. Avoid dipping the wooden handle in the water.

How should it be looked after?
Wipe off any spilt chemicals promptly, dry the clip after use and store it in a dry drawer so the spring keeps its grip.

Can you supply larger quantities or export orders?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets; contact us with quantities and the destination for a quotation.
