Universal Clamp (Product Code: SLE/CH/14) is an adjustable laboratory clamp whose jaws close around round objects from 9.5 mm up to 35 mm in diameter, holding them firmly on a stand while an experiment runs. Teachers, lab assistants and students use it when one clamp has to take test tubes, burettes, flask necks or glass tubing without swapping hardware between practicals. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of our school chemistry lab equipment for institutions in India and abroad.

In a school or college practical, the Universal Clamp is the part of the familiar lab stand, clamp and boss head assembly that actually touches the glassware. It holds a boiling tube over a burner, steadies a delivery tube during gas collection, supports a condenser or thistle funnel, or keeps a burette upright during titration. Because the jaws rotate and lock, the clamped item can be tilted to the angle a procedure needs — useful for heating a test tube at a slant or aligning a side arm with a receiver.
For best results, tighten the jaws only until the glass is held without slipping; over-tightening is a common cause of cracked tubes. Keep the clamped object close to the rod where possible, and use the clamp’s reach only when the setup genuinely needs the extra distance from the stand.
This clamp comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company based in Ambala, Haryana, that trades under the ScienceLab brand and supplies laboratory apparatus to schools, colleges and distributors. Read our company profile for more about the business and its product range.

What sizes of glassware will the Universal Clamp hold?
Any cylindrical object from 9.5 mm to 35 mm in diameter. Items outside that range need a different clamp, such as a three-prong model for wider vessels.
Can the jaws hold a tube at an angle?
Yes. The jaws rotate and lock in any position, so a tube or funnel can be set vertical, horizontal or anywhere in between.
Is a boss head needed to fix it to a retort stand?
In a standard stand setup the clamp is attached to the rod through a boss head. Our listing does not state that one is included with the clamp, so please confirm the supply scope through our contact page when ordering.
How should the clamp be cared for?
Wipe off any acid or salt splashes after the practical, keep the tightening thread free of residue, and store clamps dry. Avoid forcing the jaws beyond their range, which can strain the mechanism.
What warranty applies?
Warranty terms are stated in our quotation for each order — ask us via the contact page for the current terms.
What should an institutional enquiry include?
Share the number of clamps, any matching stands or boss heads you need, and the delivery city or country; we will reply with pricing and lead time.
Do you supply clamps in bulk for export?
Yes. Class-set and distributor quantities can be supplied to buyers in India and international markets.
