Frequently Asked Questions
Can these acetal forceps be autoclaved?
Acetal tolerates standard steam autoclaving, though repeated high-temperature cycling can shorten service life. For routine sterile handling, validate the cycle against your lab protocol and inspect for warping before reuse.
Are these forceps sterile out of the package?
No. These are supplied non-sterile in packs of 100. If sterility is required, autoclave them or process per your facility's validated procedure prior to use.
Why choose acetal forceps instead of metal?
Acetal is non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight, making it ideal for tasks where metal contamination, magnetism, or rust would compromise samples or instruments such as balances and membranes.
How many forceps are in each pack?
Each pack contains 100 forceps (100/Pack), priced per pack. The 105 mm length suits fine handling on the bench.
