Description
Ergonomic manual opening pliers for 20 mm aluminium crimp caps are a dedicated hand tool for removing aluminium Bördel closures from laboratory vials. Designed for manual operation, the pliers match 20 mm aluminium crimp caps used widely in sample storage, quality control, and analytical preparation. Ergonomic handle geometry supports a secure grip and controlled opening force when sealed vials must be accessed after crimping, which is useful during repeated decapping sequences at the bench. Each pack contains 1 piece from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel and is intended for routine laboratory handling of 20 mm aluminium crimp-cap formats. Net weight is 0,56 kg; packaging volume is 0,002603 m³, with dimensions that store conveniently next to vial-preparation areas. These opening pliers pair naturally with corresponding crimping tools wherever aluminium crimp seals need to be opened cleanly and without improvised methods. Laboratories working with 20 mm aluminium crimp-sealed containers can use this manual opener for consistent, ergonomic access to samples prior to further processing or measurement.
This article is part of Vial caps & septa, in Vials, caps & septa.

Questions about Decapper f. 20mm Alu. Caps, ergonomic
What is this article?
Decapper f. 20mm Alu. Caps, ergonomic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in Vial caps & septa, inside Vials, caps & septa, in Chromatography equipment.
A vial cap and a septum have to match the vial neck: crimp, screw or snap, and the diameter. The septum material, PTFE/silicone or rubber, decides chemical resistance and how many times a needle can pierce it. A septum that sheds into the solvent becomes ghost peaks.
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.
