Integra Introduces Handheld Vacuum Tweezers

Integra Biosciences has announced its Pipetboy vacuum tweezers, a handheld suction device for manipulating small or delicate items that cannot be touched.

Designed as a low cost accessory, the vacuum tweezers allow users to pick up, move, and position small, delicate, and hard to hold objects that weigh up to 50g. Benefiting from an ergonomic, lightweight and easy to use design, the vacuum tweezers allow safe, fatigue-free operation.

Supplied with a set of interchangeable suction nozzles, the vacuum tweezers are suitable for handling a wide variety of items including microscope slides, cover slips, optics, small mechanical parts, electronic components and biological specimens. Uses include assembly or handling of items where contamination by finger oils must be avoided or for parts that are so small that conventional mechanical tweezers may cause loss or damage of parts.
