Beaker Tong (Product Code: SLE/GB/10) is a 25 cm (10 in) nickel-plated steel tong whose plastic coated jaws open up to 11 cm (4.5 in), sized to hold beakers from 100 ml up to 1000 ml when they are too hot to touch. It gives students and technicians a controlled way to move or pour a hot beaker instead of reaching for a cloth or bare hands. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as a basic piece of chemistry lab equipment for schools in India as well as college practical halls and research prep rooms that heat liquids in beakers.

Picture a beaker of water brought to the boil on a gauze over a tripod stand, the usual heating set-up in school labs across India, for a solubility or heating-curve experiment. When the reading is done, the tong closes around the beaker body below the rim, lifts it clear of the gauze and sets it on a heat-proof mat, or tilts it to pour the hot solution into an evaporating dish for crystallisation. It is just as useful at a hot plate or when retrieving a beaker from a water bath.
Grip the beaker around its middle, keep it upright while moving and pour away from yourself and others. Keep the plastic-coated jaws out of the flame itself, and wipe them clean after each practical so they keep a good grip.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Ambala-based Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, makes this tong alongside the beakers, burners and stands it is used with, so a complete heating station can be ordered from one Haryana supplier. Learn more on our company profile.

Which beaker sizes does it hold?
Beakers from 100 ml up to 1000 ml. The jaws open to 11 cm, so check that very wide or unusually shaped vessels fit within that opening.
Why are the jaws plastic coated?
The coating gives a better grip on smooth glass and softens contact with the beaker wall. Because it is plastic, keep the jaws out of direct flame.
Can it lift crucibles too?
It is designed for beakers. For crucibles and evaporating dishes, use our Crucible & Beaker Tongs.
What is it made of?
Nickel-plated steel, 25 cm long. Rinse off any chemical splashes and dry it before storage to protect the plating.
Is a warranty offered?
Warranty terms are given with the quotation; please contact us to confirm them.
Can we order tongs for every bench in a new lab?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets — send the number of benches or units and your delivery address.
