Applications and Experiments for the Test Tube Holder
The holder lets a student heat a test tube directly in a flame or carry it while hot. It suits heating experiments in middle-school science, CBSE Class 9–12 chemistry and biology practicals and B.Sc. qualitative analysis, and it can form part of a school science kit.
- Class 6–8 science: heating water or small solid samples in a test tube over a Spirit Burner for Science Laboratory.
- Class 10: heating reactants for the decomposition and displacement reactions.
- Salt analysis: heating the salt over an Adjustable Bunsen Gas Burner with Control Valve (Set of 2) and testing evolved gases.
- Biology: moving tubes out of a boiling water bath during food tests.
Clamp the tube near its mouth, tilt it slightly with the opening away from everyone, wear Safety Glasses and heat gently while moving the tube, under a teacher’s supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The pack contains ten Test Tube Holder with Handle units and a glassware handling and thermal safety guide. Test tubes, racks and heat sources can be quoted as separate items on the same enquiry, so a complete heating bench can be priced at once.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a price on one pack of ten or on enough holders for every student in the class. Our quotation spells out the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and racks or burners can be added alongside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this holder different from the brass test tube clamp?
This model uses nickel-plated spring steel wire on a hardwood handle, 180 mm long, and comes ten to a pack. The Wooden Handle Brass Test Tube Clamp uses brass strip, is 160 mm long and comes in sets of 12.
Does the handle get hot?
The hardwood handle insulates the hand from the heat of the clamp and tube. Still keep the handle out of the flame and let hot tubes cool in a rack.
Who supplies the Test Tube Holder with Handle?
The holder is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from its base in Ambala, India. Quotations for schools, colleges and dealers are handled directly, and the holders can be combined with racks, tubes and burners in one order.
Will the wire jaws scratch the glass?
No. The smooth, rounded spring steel wire spreads the holding tension evenly around the tube wall, so it grips firmly without scratching or cracking the glass.
