Bochem : What instruments and accessories in métal for the laboratory?

Bochem designs and manufactures laboratory instruments and accessories in stainless steel and metal, built for the demanding environments of the life sciences, chemistry and quality control. Clamps, retort stands, laboratory jacks, burette clamps, spatulas, baskets and holders: a comprehensive, reliable and long-lasting range. Autoclavable, chemical-resistant and ready for heavy day-to-day use, Bochem equips R&D, production and teaching laboratories that value precise, consistent and readily available German manufacturing.

Metalworking expertise serving labs for decades

Rooted in Germany, Bochem has grown around specialised metallurgical know-how: shaping wire, sheet metal and tubing into precise tools for the laboratory. From a specialised workshop, the brand has become a recognised manufacturer of stainless steel and alloy solutions, combining fine metalworking craft with repeatable industrial processes to guarantee consistent quality. Over the decades, it has expanded its range—from clamps and retort stands to lab jacks, baskets and accessories—while retaining tightly controlled production and stringent quality checks. The company builds long-term partnerships with European scientific distributors to deliver reliable products that are built to last and easy to maintain.

Expertise and specialist areas

At Bochem, expertise lies in designing stainless steel utensils built for the day-to-day demands of the lab. Beaker tongs and crucible tongs, burette clamps and supports/rings provide a secure grip and thoughtful ergonomics, with robust springs and adjustment screws. Retort stands (rods, bases, bossheads) create stable assemblies for glassware and probes. Laboratory scissor jacks deliver millimetre-precise positioning of stirrers, baths or hotplates, thanks to steel scissor mechanisms and rigid platforms. Spatulas, spoons, scissors, forceps, baskets and racks round things off for sample handling, filtration and drying. Dutscher’s selection favours autoclavable, corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean versions for QC, R&D, pharma, cosmetics, agri-food and education. Bochem’s strength is its controlled European manufacturing, dimensional consistency that makes components interchangeable, and durability that lowers total cost of ownership (TCO). Refined finishes (deburred edges, satin surfaces) minimise abrasion and support hygiene, while carefully chosen materials ensure compatibility with common solvents and high temperatures.
