Description
Ergonomic manual crimping pliers for 20 mm aluminium crimp caps are a dedicated hand tool for sealing laboratory vials with aluminium Bördel closures. Built for manual operation, the pliers support consistent crimp seals on 20 mm aluminium caps used in routine sample preparation and analytical workflows. Crimping pressure is adjustable via a rotary knob on the crimping head, so the applied force can be matched to the cap and vial combination in use. The ergonomic handle layout aids comfortable handling during repeated sealing cycles at the bench. Each pack contains 1 piece from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel and is intended for everyday laboratory use with 20 mm aluminium crimp caps. Net weight is 0,58 kg; packaging volume is 0,00238 m³, with outer dimensions suited to storage beside sample-preparation stations. Laboratories that depend on aluminium crimp closures for sample integrity can employ these pliers wherever controlled, adjustable manual crimping is preferred. The design combines practical pressure adjustment with ergonomic operation for reliable vial sealing without powered equipment.

Questions about Crimper f. 20mm Alu. Caps, ergonomic
What is this article?
Crimper f. 20mm Alu. Caps, ergonomic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in Crimpers & decappers, inside Vials, caps & septa, in Chromatography equipment.
A crimper closes a crimp cap onto a vial neck. A decapper takes it off. The jaw size, 11 mm or 20 mm, has to match the cap. A crimp that is too tight cracks the neck. One that is too loose leaks in the tray. Electronic and manual tools differ in how repeatable the squeeze is.
An autosampler vial is the small closed bottle a chromatograph picks up. The neck is crimp, screw or snap, and the cap and the septum have to be that neck. The septum is the part the needle pierces. A soft septum reseals. A septum that is wrong for the solvent swells or sheds particles into the sample. Inserts reduce the volume when the sample is scarce. The separation they feed is described with IUPAC names and PubChem data.
