Laboratory Jack

Product Code : SCL-CL-11550

Laboratory Jack (SKU SCL-CL-11550) is a metal lifting platform with a knob-operated scissor mechanism that raises or lowers hot plates, burners, water baths and glassware to exactly the working height an experiment needs. It suits chemistry, physics and biology labs in colleges, research institutes and schools. Science Lab Supplies handles enquiries for it from Ambala, India, offering this piece of chemistry lab equipment in India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The jack’s full specification appears in the table below. In short, it is an all-purpose metal lift in stainless steel or powder-coated mild steel, with a 100 x 10 mm plate, a 25 kg load figure and a knob-driven scissor action for quick, easy and accurate height adjustment.

Applications and Experiments for the Laboratory Jack

A lab jack lets a heat source or bath be raised to a clamped flask and lowered away again in seconds, which makes distillation, reflux and heating set-ups safer and easier to adjust. It also levels optical and physics apparatus and brings receiving vessels up to a funnel or condenser outlet.

• Class 11–12 and B.Sc. chemistry: raising a hot plate, water bath or a Flask Electric Heater (for 500 ml flasks) beneath the reaction vessel during distillation and reflux.
• Organic chemistry practicals: quickly lowering the heat source away from a reaction flask such as a 500 ml Round Bottom Pots (Spherical Flasks).
• Physics labs: setting optical components and apparatus to a common height.
• Research and testing labs: positioning receivers, baths and beakers, for example a graduated Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 250ml, under outlets.
