What is a test tube holder?

A test tube holder grips a test tube by hand, keeping your fingers well away from the glass while you heat it directly over a bunsen flame or handle it during an experiment. A metal wire holder uses spring tension for a firm one-handed grip, while a wooden peg-type holder works like a simple clothespin.

SmartLabs stocks metal wire and wooden peg test tube holders, giving you a safe, secure grip whenever a tube is too hot or awkward to hold directly.

Common uses of test tube holders in the lab

Where a secure grip keeps your hand safely away from a hot test tube.

  • Heating Over a Flame

    A wire holder grips the tube firmly, letting you heat its contents over a bunsen burner without touching the hot glass.

  • Peg-Type Grip

    A wooden clothespin-style holder grips a test tube with simple spring-hinge pressure, useful for general handling.

  • Safe Handling

    Holding the tube at the far end of the holder keeps your hand a safe distance from the flame and hot glass.

  • Wire vs Wood

    A wire holder suits direct heating over a flame, while a wooden peg holder is a simpler grip for general handling.
