Tongs (Stainless Steel)

These stainless-steel laboratory tongs provide a handling tool for gripping compatible laboratory items without direct hand contact. They are a practical accessory for teaching practicals and routine laboratory work where the jaw shape suits the item being moved.

Before moving equipment, check the grip on a cool, empty item of the same shape. Choose dedicated handling tools whenever a vessel requires a specific jaw profile or support.

Applications

Handling compatible laboratory items during chemistry and science practicals. Suitability for crucibles, beakers, flasks or test tubes depends on the supplied jaw design and the item's size and weight; do not assume one design fits every vessel.

Use with heated equipment

Confirm the supplier's temperature and load limits before handling hot equipment. Tongs do not replace appropriate protective equipment, and the metal can become hot during use. Keep a suitable resting surface ready before moving heated items.

Care and compatibility

Inspect the jaws and mechanism for wear, damage and corrosion before use. Clean according to the supplier's instructions. Stainless-steel grade, sterilization parameters and autoclave compatibility are not documented in this listing.
