The Laboratory Tools category supports laboratories that need to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
Small differences in material, dimensions, cleanliness and closure design can affect compatibility, contamination risk and ease of handling. For dependable results, compare closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material and confirm that the selected item is suitable for both the immediate task and the surrounding workflow.
Consumables work best when vessel material, capacity, closure, cleanliness and disposal or reuse requirements are selected as part of the complete method. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in research, clinical, education, industrial, food and quality-control laboratories. As part of the Laboratory Consumables & Glassware range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tools are recommended for glass working and maintenance?
For facility maintenance and glass adjustment, tools from Aug. Hülden and Apollo Herkenrath provide the necessary leverage and specialised geometries required to handle glass components safely and effectively. Laboratories should compare capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, and closure or connection and document the selected setup for consistent use.
What makes B. Braun (Aesculap) scissors different from standard tools?
Instruments from B. Braun (Aesculap) are manufactured to surgical standards, offering exceptional sharpness and precision for delicate cutting tasks where standard workshop tools would be insufficient. Before ordering, confirm capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, and closure or connection and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
Can I get anti-magnetic forceps from BRAND?
BRAND provides specialised forceps made from non-magnetic materials, which are essential when working near sensitive electronic components or in magnetic fields where standard steel tools might interfere. The final choice should reflect capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, and closure or connection, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
Which specifications matter most when comparing tools?
Start with the application and sample, then compare capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, closure or connection, and temperature and chemical compatibility. Check compatibility with existing equipment and confirm any accessories, consumables, calibration items or replacement parts required for routine use. For tools, also check capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, and closure or connection so the product fits the complete procedure.
How do I choose the right tools for my laboratory?
The most important points are capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, closure or connection, and temperature and chemical compatibility. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. Before ordering, confirm capacity and dimensions, graduation or tolerance, and closure or connection and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
