Hook

Hooks are simple yet indispensable lab tools used across various scientific disciplines. They typically consist of a metal rod with one curved or bent end and another end that can be attached to a support stand or clamp. In laboratories, hooks serve multiple purposes. They can hold and suspend various items such as glassware, tubing, and instruments above the lab bench, ensuring they remain stable and within easy reach. They are particularly useful for drying and draining glassware, especially after washing or cleaning. Hooks also play a role in supporting different apparatus setups, contributing to the versatility and safety of laboratory work by keeping items organized and secure.
