Pinch Clamp

The GISCOM Pinch Clamp is a precision-molded plastic clamp designed for quick ON/OFF flow control in laboratory tubing systems. Ideal for miniature and low-pressure tubing applications, it securely regulates the flow of liquids and gases without the need for valves or complex connectors. Its lightweight design, corrosion-free material, and easy one-hand operation make it an essential component in research laboratories, process setups, and analytical environments.

 Key Features

• Ratcheting ON/OFF mechanism for secure and consistent flow control
• Fits 5 mm to 9.5 mm OD tubing, making it highly versatile
• Made from autoclavable polypropylene, resistant to chemicals and corrosion
• Lightweight, ergonomic design for effortless one-hand use
• Durable locking teeth ensure firm clamping without slippage
• Reusable, economical, and long-lasting
• Smooth internal surfaces prevent tube damage and ensure leak-free performance
• Ideal for low-pressure applications, sampling lines, and benchtop setups

Handling & Precautions

• Ensure tubing is fully seated before applying the clamp
• Suitable for autoclaving; avoid dry-heat sterilization above recommended PP limits
• Clean with mild laboratory detergents; avoid aggressive solvents
• Do not use on high-pressure or high-temperature lines
• Do not overstretch tubing inside the clamp to prevent material fatigue
• Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight

 Applications

• Flow control in chemical, biological, and analytical laboratories
• Tubing management in pharmaceutical R&D and production facilities
• Sample handling lines in biotechnology and life science workflows
• Educational and academic lab setups requiring simple fluid regulation
• QC/QA laboratories for controlled dispensing and sampling tasks
• Ideal for miniature setups where compact, reliable control is needed
