The right tongs can make all the difference in your lab work. That’s why we offer a range of styles and sizes to suit your needs. Whether you’re working with crucibles or other lab equipment, our stainless steel lab beaker tongs will give you the secure grip and precise control you need.
Handling lab tools for the oven and flasks is where crucible tongs really shine. They’re specifically designed to handle those hot, heavy objects like flasks—making them a must-have in chemistry and materials science experiments where temperatures come into play. That secure grip provided by the tongs gives you the peace of mind you need to handle objects safely, without the risk of burns or accidents.
Beaker tongs are perfect for delicate work with small beakers. Whether you’re working with hot or cold beakers, these tongs give you the control you need to handle them safely and efficiently. That precision is ideal for all sorts of laboratory procedures.
Safety is the primary function of tongs. By giving you a secure grip on objects, they reduce the risk of burns and injuries. That’s why they’re an essential tool for laboratory professionals—chemists, materials scientists and researchers who work with high-temperature materials all the time.
Tongs can withstand high temp, making them suitable for experiments involving heating and cooling. Whether you’re heating something up or handle materials straight from the heat, tongs ensure safe and efficient using.
Tongs with serrated tips or rubber-coated jaws are particularly useful for handling sticky materials. Those features keep the tongs from slipping and prevent damaging container exteriors. That’s especially important when dealing with chemicals or biological samples that can be tricky to handle.
Beyond their specific uses, tongs are just a general-purpose tool in the lab. You can use them for a variety of tasks: handling small objects, mixing chemicals and transferring samples. Their versatility makes them a staple in any laboratory setting.
Tongs are an essential tool in any lab. They provide safe and efficient handling of various objects and materials. Whether you’re working with hot crucibles, beakers or sticky substances, having the right tongs on hand means you can work safely and effectively.
Product Description
Crucible tongs are a type of laboratory equipment designed for handling hot crucibles, flasks, evaporating dishes, and small beakers. Constructed with a scissor-like functionality, these tongs feature two pincers or metal pieces that concave together to provide a secure grasp on hot objects. This design allows for safe and controlled handling of hot materials, making them an essential tool for laboratory procedures in chemistry and materials science experiments. Whether you’re dealing with hot crucibles or delicate evaporating dishes, these tongs ensure you can handle your tasks with precision and safety.

Comparison to Beaker Tongs
While beaker tongs are designed for handling beakers, crucible tongs are specifically crafted for managing crucibles, flasks, and evaporating dishes. Crucible tongs typically boast a more robust construction and are designed to withstand higher temperatures than beaker tongs. Additionally, crucible tongs often feature serrated tips for a surer grip on objects, whereas beaker tongs may have smooth tips. This makes crucible tongs the go-to choice for tasks involving extreme heat and heavy-duty handling.
