Plastic Support Stands
Manufacturer: United Scientific
United Scientific Plastic Support Stands are specifically engineered for environments where chemical resistance and durability are paramount. Unlike traditional cast-iron or steel stands that can rust, pit, or corrode when exposed to harsh reagents, these stands are fully encased in high-quality polypropylene. The heavy, molded base provides a stable platform for titration, filtration, and general stirring applications. Even the 30-inch metallic rod is protected by a polypropylene covering, ensuring that the entire assembly remains impervious to acid splashes and high-humidity environments. These stands are the ideal choice for "wet chemistry" labs and corrosive storage areas.
Description
Choose the hole placement that best suits your setup—center-mounted for balanced loads or side-mounted to maximize available base space.
Key Functional Benefits:
- Total Corrosion Protection: Every surface, from the base to the rod, is non-reactive, extending the lifespan of your labware in acidic or saline conditions
- Stable Heavyweight Base: The molded design offers significant weight to prevent tipping while maintaining a footprint that fits easily on standard lab benches
- Easy Maintenance: The smooth plastic surface is non-porous and can be easily wiped down or decontaminated without fear of damaging the finish
- Versatile Compatibility: The 0.5-inch diameter rod is standard, fitting most laboratory clamps, bossheads, and rings
Laboratory Setup Insights:
- Hole Placement: Select the Center Hole (54102) if you are supporting heavy glassware (like large separatory funnels) to ensure the center of gravity remains over the base. Use the Side Hole (54103) if you need more room on the base for a magnetic stirrer or beaker
- Clamping Tip: When using plastic-coated rods, avoid over-tightening metal clamps with sharp serrations, as this can pierce the polypropylene protective layer over time
- Thermal Limits: While polypropylene is highly chemical-resistant, it is a thermoplastic. Avoid placing these stands in direct contact with hot plates or open flames
