Tongs
Tools used to grip and lift objects instead of holding them directly with hands; available in a variety of shapes and with a range of prong counts for specialized applications including holding crucibles, beakers, or flasks.
Lab tongs are typically shaped to accommodate specific objects, with long handles to keep the user at a safe distance from an object that is heated or may be otherwise hazardous to hold.
- The arms of beaker tongs are shaped to help hold beakers of various diameters. To reduce slippage and to avoid heating the metal tongs, some beaker tong arms are plastic-coated. Typically used to hold beakers that have been heated, the ends of the jaws may also be wrapped or coated with an insulated material.
- Crucible tongs are typically made of metal and have two curved and concave pincers. The arms themselves may also be curved to accommodate the shape of crucibles, flasks, beakers, or other glassware items. Because crucibles are typically heated to very high temperatures, the tongs must also be able to tolerate high heat. In addition, some crucible tongs can be securely attached to the crucible with a locking device for added security. Crucible holders may have other shapes that are suited to specific applications (melting precious metals, for example).
- Julian tongs are made from a single piece of metal that is bent in half and has a sliding bracket to adjust the distance between the jaws.

Mitegen CryoVial Tong, Straight Design, For Safe & Secure Grasping, Positioning & Transfer of Magnetic CryoVials
This CryoVial Tong with a straight design provides an essential solution for the safe, secure, and precise manipulation of CryoVials in various laboratory settings. These tongs are compatible with cryovials such as SKUs CV-1-100, CV-1-200, CV-1-50 and CV-1-500. Engineered for optimal control, this tong allows users to reliably grasp, position, and transfer magnetic CryoVials, particularly in demanding cryogenic environments such as liquid nitrogen (LN2) dewars or ultra-low temperature freezers. The robust straight design ensures a firm hold on vials, minimizing the risk of accidental drops, thermal shock, or contamination of valuable biological samples during critical handling procedures in crystallography workflows. By enabling hands-free operation and controlled movement, this tong streamlines laboratory efficiency and enhances safety in cryo-preservation and sample management.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Paterson Paterson Print Tong
These tongs have textured side panels which offer a firm grip and deeply notched "shoulders" which avoid slippage into the tray. The tongs are all plastic and chemically resistant. Tongs are color-coded in light and dark gray to help minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
