Stainless Steel Crucible Tongs for Medium-Neck Crucibles

Laboratory tongs manufactured in stainless steel, designed specifically for handling medium-neck crucibles. Indispensable when transferring a crucible from the furnace or muffle to the desiccator — without burns and without sample contamination.

Features

• Material: Stainless steel
• Type: Medium neck
• Use: Gripping and transferring hot crucibles
• Finish: Resistant to chemical and thermal corrosion

Applications

Calcination, fusion and gravimetric operations where crucibles reach elevated temperatures. Also used for muffle-to-desiccator transfers, where a firm grip is critical to prevent drops and sample contamination.

Found in analytical chemistry, geology, mineralogy, industrial quality control and university teaching laboratories.

Why Stainless Steel

Stainless steel does not contaminate the sample on contact, resists oxidation from the acidic vapours common in these operations, and holds its geometry through hundreds of thermal cycles. The jaws open and close with controlled movement — no sudden release, no risk of cracking the crucible.
