In any scientific setting—whether a bustling school laboratory or a dedicated home setup—bench space is at a premium. The foundation of a successful experiment starts with stability, but the challenge has always been how to store bulky equipment when the work is done.
Our professional series of Nesting A-Shape Retort Bases offers the perfect solution: industrial-grade stability combined with a space-saving modular design.
Why Choose the A-Shape Nesting Design?
Traditional rectangular bases are heavy and difficult to store. The A-Shape design revolutionizes lab organization through three key advantages:
Modular Nesting: The unique open A-frame geometry allows multiple bases to slide together and “nest,” drastically reducing the storage footprint in cabinets or prep rooms.
3-Point Contact Stability: The tripod-like geometry provides a superior balanced contact system, ensuring the base remains level and secure even on slightly uneven laboratory benches.
Corrosion Resistance: Each base is finished with a high-quality powder coating or baked paint, protecting the heavy-duty steel or cast iron from common chemical spills and long-term wear.
Find the Right Base for Your Setup
We offer three distinct tiers of A-Shape bases to match the scale of your experiments:
| Model | Weight | Side Length | Best For |
| The Classroom Standard | 1.45 kg – 1.5 kg | 18 cm (7″) | General science demos and basic student kits. |
| The Heavy-Duty PLUS | 2.2 kg – 2.5 kg | 22 cm (8.7″) | Tall distillation columns and medium-weight apparatus. |
| The Industrial Giant | 3.5 kg | 27 cm (10.6″) | Multi-rod setups and extra-tall, high-center-of-gravity experiments. |
The Advantage: Double Threaded Versatility
Our top-tier 3.5 kg Industrial Base features a unique double-threaded hole design. This allows you to mount a primary rod and a secondary support rod simultaneously, providing an immovable framework for complex multi-flask systems or integrated sensor arrays.
The "PLUS" Advantage: Double Threaded Versatility
Our bases are specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of basic education and research:
Science Classrooms: Durable construction and nesting capabilities make these bases an excellent choice for schools where equipment is shared and storage is limited.
Household Laboratories: Achieve professional-grade safety at home. The heavy low-center-of-gravity foundation prevents accidental tipping during sensitive chemistry or physics projects.
Basic Professional Labs: A reliable, sturdy choice for holding and manipulating experimental apparatus across every area of science.
