Proof Clips (Product Code: SCL275/038) is a wooden test tube holder used to grip a test tube while it is hot or whenever the tube should not be touched by hand during school chemistry and biology practicals. Students use it most when heating a tube over a flame, and its wooden construction keeps fingers clear of the hot glass. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as basic chemistry lab equipment for schools in India.

Heating a test tube is one of the first practical skills pupils learn, and a holder makes it safe. Clip the holder near the mouth of the tube, tilt the tube so its open end points away from everyone, and move the bottom gently through the flame so the contents warm evenly instead of bumping. The same grip is useful for decomposing a salt, warming a food-test mixture, or holding a tube whose outside is wet with a corrosive reagent.
Keep the wooden holder itself out of the flame, let it cool before it goes back in the drawer, and store it dry. A holder is for one tube at a time; stand the tube in a rack as soon as heating is finished.

What is Proof Clips?
Proof Clips is a wooden test tube holder; “proof” in the catalogue name is a translation of the word for test tube. It grips a single test tube so students can heat it or handle it without touching the glass directly.
What material is Proof Clips made from?
Proof Clips is made of wood. Wood stays comfortable to hold near a flame because it does not conduct heat the way metal does, which is why wooden holders are common in school laboratories for heating test tubes.
How should a test tube be held with Proof Clips during heating?
With Proof Clips, grip the test tube near its mouth, tilt it away from yourself and others, and move the lower part gently through the flame. Never point the open end at anyone, and keep the wooden holder out of the flame.
