Bel-Art : What accessories and equipment for the needs quotidiens of the laboratory?

US benchmark in small labware, Bel-Art designs benchtop solutions that are simple, robust and built for everyday use. From the iconic SPINBAR magnetic stir bar in PTFE to Secador desiccators, along with wash bottles, carboys, racks and sampling tools, the brand equips R&D, quality control and production across the life sciences, pharmaceutical, food & beverage and environmental sectors. Distributed by Dutscher, it combines ergonomic design, chemical resistance and proven reliability.

Decades of ingenuity, put to work at your lab bench.

Born in the United States, Bel-Art built its reputation on a simple idea: turning routine benchwork into safer, faster and more reliable workflows. Early on, the brand pioneered engineering polymers to create parts that withstand solvents, impacts and repeated autoclave cycles. The iconic SPINBAR set the benchmark for magnetic stirring in PTFE, while Secador desiccators set the standard for moisture protection. Over the years, Bel-Art has broadened its portfolio with Sterileware sterile sampling tools, Poxygrid racks and easy-to-read, safety-focused wash bottles. The integration of H-B thermometry know-how and NIST traceability further strengthens the range’s metrological credibility. Today, Bel-Art remains true to its purpose: practical solutions, designed with—and for—everyday laboratories, and supplied worldwide.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

Designed around real laboratory needs, Bel-Art expertise comes through in a deep, focused and immediately workable catalogue. On stirring, SPINBAR PTFE stir bars — octagonal shapes, pivot ring, from micro to high-capacity — deliver outstanding chemical inertness, low adhesion and temperature stability; they meet the demands of R&D in biology, analytical chemistry and quality control. For moisture control, Secador desiccators provide a high-performance barrier with rugged chambers and doors, compatibility with desiccants and optimal visibility of sensitive samples (chromatography, hygroscopic materials, weighing standards). Poxygrid epoxy-coated steel racks and drying racks secure tubes, glassware and consumables while optimising bench and wash-station organisation. Wash bottles and carboys offer readability, colour coding and durable materials (PP, HDPE) for dispensing solvents and process water. For sampling and prep, the Sterileware range offers spatulas, spoons and beakers, available sterile by gamma irradiation for QC in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors. For measurement, H-B thermometers — digital or glass — are available with NIST traceability certificates for checks compliant with GLP. Everywhere, the Bel-Art signature remains: ergonomic design, selected materials, chemical compatibility, autoclavable options and time-saving details (legible graduations, GHS pictograms, colour coding). It’s this blend of understated ingenuity and reliability that makes Bel-Art a natural ally of the modern laboratory.
