Working Mechanism

  • Laboratory tongs and forceps have two arms or jaws that are hinged at one end, with a handle at the other end.
  • When the handle is squeezed, the jaws come together to lift the object and when the handle is released, the jaws open to put down the object.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of coated jaws in these laboratory tongs and forceps?

  • Certain tongs and forceps come with fibreglass- or plastisol-coated jaws that provide additional protection and a non-slip grip.
  • The fibreglass coating provides insulation and heat resistance, while the plastisol coating offers resistance against chemicals, oil & high temperatures.

What is the advantage of V-jaws in these laboratory tongs and forceps?

  • V-jaws are typically used on laboratory tongs or forceps to hold round or cylindrical objects, such as flasks, test tubes, vials, or pipettes.
  • They provide a stable and secure grip without causing damage to the object.

What is the use of polystyrene tongs?

Polystyrene tongs are ideal for application where there is a risk of contamination, such as when handling biological samples or in sterile environments. These tongs are lightweight, easy to handle and provide resistance to most chemicals.
