Questions about Universal Bosshead 13 mm
What is this article?
Universal Bosshead 13 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Clamps & bossheads, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labware.
A bosshead grips the rod. A clamp grips the flask or the condenser, usually through two jaws with cork or vinyl faces. Three-finger and two-finger clamps hold different shapes. The jaw opening is the specification.
A stand, a clamp and a rack hold something still so the hands can do the work. A bosshead locks a clamp to a rod. A test-tube rack keeps tubes upright and in an order the operator can read back. The failure is almost always mechanical: the clamp slips, or the rack does not match the tube diameter. The glass they support is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
