Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Independent dual-screw adjustment.
Benefit: Allows students to center glassware precisely over a heat source or within a narrow setup, eliminating the risk of uneven heating or mechanical stress on glass joints.
Feature: Protective cork or rubber-lined prongs.
Benefit: Provides a cushioned grip that absorbs thermal expansion of Borosilicate glass, preventing cracks and accidental slippage during sensitive heating procedures.
Feature: High-tensile metallic extension rod.
Benefit: Ensures a rigid connection to the support stand, preventing "droop" or vibration when holding heavy, liquid-filled apparatus like condensers or separatory funnels.
Feature: Chemical-resistant surface finish.
Benefit: Protects the tool from oxidation when exposed to corrosive vapors such as Hydrochloric Acid or Ammonia, maintaining long-term structural integrity in high-use environments.
Feature: Ergonomic wing nuts.
Benefit: Facilitates rapid setup and adjustment without the need for additional tools, empowering students to manage their laboratory workspace efficiently and safely.
