FAQ

Can these clamps hold test tubes larger than 5.5″?

While the clamps are optimized for 5.5″ tubes, the smooth jaws can accommodate slightly larger diameters up to approximately 6″ with a secure grip, though performance may vary.

Are the clamps compatible with standard test tube racks?

Yes, the compact footprint allows the clamps to be placed directly onto most laboratory racks and holders without interfering with adjacent equipment.

How should I clean the clamps after use?

Rinse the clamps with distilled water and a mild laboratory detergent, then dry them with a lint‑free cloth. They can also be autoclaved for sterilization if needed.

Do the clamps come with a warranty?

Excel provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, and the support team is available to address any concerns during that period.

What is the maximum load the clamps can support?

The clamps are rated to hold test tubes weighing up to 250 grams, which comfortably exceeds the weight of typical glass or plastic tubes used in most laboratory protocols.
