Tube & Vial Crimpers & Decappers

Decappers are essential for sealing and opening various vials and bottles specially sealed with aluminum seals or caps. This instrument provides convenience when crimping or decrypting the seals or caps to ensure secure closure and easy access to the sample. Tube crimpers are available in many sizes to suit the cap and vial types and provide convenience when handling samples for analysis. Some models provide adjustable features to control the crimping pressure and a uniform seal across multiple vials.

Decappers are designed to remove crimped seals from vials safely. The claw-like mechanism of vial decappers provides easy removal for processing and analysis applications. Metal crimpers and vial decappers are essential lab tools for various applications such as storing, transporting, or analyzing sensitive samples.
