Test Tube Holder Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Test Tube Holder (Product Code: SLE/CH/66) is a hand-held clip for gripping a test tube while it is heated, shaken or poured, keeping fingers well away from the flame and the contents. It is formed from chrome-plated spring steel wire with finger grips, measures 130 mm overall, and its jaws take tubes up to 38 mm in diameter. The holder is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is standard issue for every student carrying out a salt analysis practical in school, in India and international markets.

Specifications

Typical Use

Dry-heating a salt, warming a solution to speed a reaction, and running preliminary tests for gases all involve holding a tube in or near a flame. Clip the holder near the mouth of the tube, keep the tube tilted and pointed away from yourself and others, and move it gently through the flame so the contents heat evenly and do not bump out. The wire collar keeps the two jaws lined up, so the tube does not twist loose as it is tilted.

The same holder is handy for dipping a tube into a hot water bath, or for carrying a warm tube back to the rack. In a flame test kit for school practicals in India, it is usually issued with a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp and a stand of clean tubes at each bench. After use, rest the holder on the bench rather than leaving it clipped to a hot tube.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tube sizes does it hold?
The jaws accept tubes up to 38 mm in diameter, so standard school test tubes and wider boiling tubes are both covered.

Where on the tube should it be clipped?
Near the mouth, about a quarter of the way down, so most of the tube can be heated and your hand stays clear of the flame.

Does the handle get hot?
It is metal, so avoid holding it in the flame. The 130 mm length keeps the finger grips at a distance from the heated tube in normal use.

How do I keep it in good order?
Wipe off any chemical splashes, dry it after washing, and avoid prising the jaws wider than needed so the spring keeps its tension.

Can I order a set for a whole class?
Yes. Tell us the number of benches or students and we will quote a class quantity.

Do you ship outside India?
Yes, we supply institutions and distributors in India and international markets; contact us for export terms.
