Description
Cross-action curved tweezers, 160 mm, are precision laboratory instruments designed for controlled gripping and handling of samples, components, and small materials in research and medical laboratory workflows. The crossed-action mechanism keeps the tips closed at rest and opens under finger pressure, supporting secure hold with reduced continuous force. The curved instrument form improves access in confined spaces and angled working positions. Overall length is 160 mm, giving a practical balance of reach and fine control at the bench. Net weight is 0,04 kg and gross weight is 0,046 kg, so the tool remains light enough for extended manual use. Supplied as 1 pc, this Hammacher tweezers model suits routine preparation, sorting, and transfer tasks where a reliable curved tip geometry is required. Originating from Germany (Nordrhein-Westfalen), it fits standard laboratory instrument sets for biology, chemistry, and clinical support work. The robust tweezer construction supports repeated daily handling while remaining compact for storage in instrument trays and workstation organisers.

Questions about Forceps, cross action, curved. unitd, Hammacher, 160 mm
What is this article?
Forceps, cross action, curved. unitd, Hammacher, 160 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hammacher for laboratory use. It sits in Tweezers & forceps, inside Tools & accessories, in Labware.
Tweezers and forceps hold a small object so the fingers do not touch it. Fine points are for a cover glass or a grid. Blunt ends are for a wafer or a tissue. The steel grade matters when the object must not gain metal ions.
The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
