Brass Laboratory Test Tube Holder

Quick Answer: The Brass Laboratory Test Tube Holder is a brass hand tool that grips a test tube so it can be held, repositioned or supported during laboratory procedures without direct hand contact, including selected heating work under supervision.

Product Description

The LabEquip Brass Laboratory Test Tube Holder provides a mechanical grip for holding a compatible test tube during laboratory handling. It is useful when direct hand contact with the tube is inconvenient or inappropriate, such as during heating, mixing or demonstration work in school and college laboratories.

The confirmed construction material is brass. We have not independently verified the exact brass grade, overall length, jaw design, spring or gripping mechanism, handle configuration or maximum working temperature for this listing. We are not stating a specific heat-resistance rating or test-tube-diameter capacity, because we have not confirmed these details. If any of these specifications matter for your order, please contact our sales team before you buy.

Safety Note

Always grip the test tube firmly before heating or moving it, keep the open end pointed away from yourself and others, and never exceed a verified working temperature for this holder. Allow the holder and tube to cool before setting them down.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe the holder clean after each use to remove chemical residue or soot.
• Check the jaws and spring action regularly for stiffness, corrosion or loss of grip.
• Avoid dropping the holder, which can bend the jaws out of alignment.
• Store in a dry place with other laboratory hand tools.
