Description
Crimping pliers for crimp caps 20 mm are laboratory hand tools for sealing aluminium crimp closures on sample vials. They enable controlled crimping of 20 mm aluminium caps used across chromatography, headspace sampling, pharmaceutical QC and general analytical sample preparation. The dedicated 20 mm jaw format aligns with common vial neck dimensions, supporting uniform seal formation for secure storage and transport of liquid or gaseous samples. Net weight is 0,500 kg, giving a stable, durable feel for repeated bench use. Part of the METRIA range from manufacturer Labbox, these pliers are intended for aluminium crimp-cap vials in sealing and related Bördel operations. Supplied as one piece with a compact packaging volume, they are practical for dedicated GC/HPLC stations or shared laboratory tool kits. Crimping pliers of this type help laboratories maintain consistent vial integrity without relying on improvised closing methods in R&D, quality control and routine testing workflows.

Questions about Hand decapper for 20 mm caps
What is this article?
Hand decapper for 20 mm caps is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox 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.
