Burette Clamp Chemistry Lab
Product Code : SCL-CL-12022
The Burette Clamp Chemistry Lab is a spring-loaded metal jaw holder used for securing a glass buret vertically onto a standard retort stand setup. Specially designed for students, research scientists, and chemistry instructors, this essential instrument ensures stable vertical alignment, providing absolute scale readability during critical manual titrations.
Product Description
The Burette Clamp Chemistry Lab from Science Lab Supplies provides excellent structural stability and operational safety for standard educational and clinical workflows. Fabricated from premium die-cast zinc-aluminum alloy, this single buret holder attaches securely to vertical support columns without slipping under shifting weight loads. The compact design allows lab technicians to mount it quickly, minimizing the hardware footprint on crowded benchtops.
This industrial-grade titration clamp is specifically engineered to improve measuring accuracy. Equipped with high-friction rubber jaw liners, it dampens surrounding physical vibrations and eliminates point-pressure stress on fragile laboratory glassware. It integrates seamlessly into general chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental analysis workflows, serving as a long-lasting, rust-resistant component within our professional laboratory hardware inventory.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Forged from structural die-cast zinc-aluminum alloy to prevent physical warping, bending, and cracking under everyday industrial torque.
- Spring-Loaded Scissor Action: Outfitted with high-tension internal steel springs that facilitate instant, single-handed clamping and swift height modifications.
- Unobstructed Graduation View: Designed with a narrow-profile jaw framework that securely holds the glass tube without hiding critical measurement scales or volumetric lines.
- Cushioned Rubber Liners: Tipped with resilient vulcanized rubber pads that absorb benchtop vibrations and shield glass bodies from scratching or stress fractures.
- Universal Rod Attachment: Features a built-in central thumb screw block that mounts firmly onto standard laboratory retort support shafts up to 16 mm in diameter.
- Chemical-Resistant Finish: Coated with a durable, inert powder-coat layer to protect the underlying metal framework against aggressive acid fumes and solvent splatters.

What's Included in the Kit
- 4 x Burette Clamp Chemistry Lab Single Type Units
- 1 x Integrated Central Hook and Thumbscrew Attachment
- 1 x Chemistry Apparatus Calibration and Safety Manual
Applications / Uses
- Anchoring clear glass tubes perfectly plumb to eliminate meniscus reading errors during manual acid-base titrations.
- Securing electronic temperature probes or pH electrodes firmly beside reaction vessels in research labs.
- Serving as a high-durability, rigid structural mounting tool within academic chemistry science kits.
- Holding narrow chromatography columns or extraction tubes vertically above collector vials.
- Minimizing wobble for delicate volumetric instruments during sensitive fractional liquid distribution routines.
How to Use the Burette Clamp Chemistry Lab
- Slide the central mounting clamp pathway over the vertical column of an assembled retort stand at your required height.
- Tighten the rear thumbscrew firmly clockwise until the clamp frame is fully anchored against the vertical shaft.
- Compress the scissor-action handle tabs with your thumb and forefinger to open the rubber-cushioned jaws wide.
- Position your glass buret barrel vertically between the open jaw arms, ensuring it aligns perpendicular to the benchtop platform.
- Release your finger compression slowly, allowing the spring tension to lock the jaw pads securely around the glass tube body.
Handling Note: Always verify the central thumbscrew is locked tightly to the vertical stand shaft before filling the glassware with chemical reagents. Never slide the glassware vertically while the spring jaws are closed.
Care & Maintenance
- Prompt Chemical Cleanup: Wipe down the alloy body and rubber jaw pads immediately with a damp cloth if corrosive chemical titrants or concentrated acids spill onto the hardware surface.
- Spring Maintenance: Periodically inspect the internal steel spring cores for corrosion or dust buildup, keeping the tension joints clean to preserve smooth mechanical action.
- Organized Storage: Store the clamp units flat in a dedicated dry equipment locker away from direct chemical fumes to protect the structural finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Burette Clamp Chemistry Lab used for?
It is a specialized hardware tool designed to hold a glass buret vertically onto a retort support stand. The spring-loaded mechanism keeps the tube stable during quantitative titrations, ensuring accurate chemical dosing.
What materials are used to construct this clamp holder?
The primary framework is manufactured from heavy-duty die-cast zinc-aluminum alloy with steel spring components, and the inner jaw faces are lined with high-friction vulcanized rubber.
Does this clamp block the measurement lines on the glassware?
No, the narrow-profile scissor finger layout grips the sides of the glass tube cleanly, ensuring all graduation scale markings remain entirely visible to the user during fluid tracking.
Can this titration clamp accommodate different sizes of burettes?
Yes, the self-adjusting spring jaws flex dynamically to accommodate a broad diameter spectrum, comfortably fitting standard 10mL, 25mL, and 50mL liquid handling instruments.
Is the metal clamp corrosion resistant?
Yes, the metal body is finished with a specialized, chemical-inert industrial powder coating that resists rust and degradation from common laboratory solvents, acids, and alkalis.
