Description
Tube tongs, nickel-plated with plastic-coated handles, are practical laboratory instruments for the secure gripping and handling of tubes and similar vessels. Manufactured from zinc die-cast that is nickel-plated for improved durability and corrosion resistance, they offer a jaw width of 59 mm suitable for a range of common laboratory tube diameters. The plastic-coated handles deliver a comfortable, non-slip grip that supports controlled operation and reduces hand fatigue during repeated use. With a net weight of 0,345 kg, the tongs provide a solid, well-balanced feel without becoming cumbersome in daily workflows. These tongs from manufacturer Usbeck are well suited to chemistry, biology and general laboratory environments where reliable clamping of glassware or sample containers is required. The nickel finish helps maintain a clean appearance under routine lab conditions, while the coated grips improve handling safety. Ideal for transferring, holding or positioning tubes during preparation, heating or analysis steps, they integrate readily into research, teaching and quality-control settings. Supplied as 1 pc, the tool supports efficient, precise tube manipulation in professional laboratory practice.

Questions about Tube Tongs
What is this article?
Tube Tongs is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Test tubes, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A test tube is the open cylindrical vessel for a small liquid, in borosilicate glass or in plastic. Rimmed and rimless mouths differ. The size is diameter by length. It is not graduated for a result, and a glass tube that will be centrifuged has a force limit.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
