Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Four-pronged jaw architecture.
Benefit: Provides a multi-point distribution of pressure, ensuring a secure grip on irregular or spherical glassware and preventing accidental slippage.
Feature: Pressure die-cast zinc construction.
Benefit: Offers superior metallurgical integrity and mechanical strength compared to standard stamped clamps, maintaining alignment under thermal stress.
Feature: Independent jaw adjustment screws.
Benefit: Allows students to achieve exact axial alignment of the glassware, which is critical for the efficiency of distillation and titration procedures.
Feature: PVC or Cork-lined sleeves.
Benefit: Acts as a mechanical buffer and thermal insulator, protecting fragile glass surfaces from localized stress and potential fractures during heating.
Feature: Ergonomic thumb screws.
Benefit: Facilitates high-torque tightening without the need for external tools, streamlining laboratory setup and transitions.
