Sample Handling Tools for Vacuum and UHV Environments

Manipulate samples precisely in vacuum and UHV environments with specialized Pincers and Grabbers.

Pincers: Ideal for maneuvering in tight spaces and off-angle approaches. Compatible with Flag Style Sample Plates, Dual-Shaft Wobblesticks, and Dual-Shaft Sample Transporters..

Grabbers: The sample plate grabber securely and gently locks flag-style plates into place with a simple 90-degree turn of the wobblestick handle. It is compatible with Single-Shaft Wobblesticks (WM40), Sample Transporters, and UHV Suitcases.

Key Differences:

  • Grip: Pincers offer a more flexible grip; Grabbers are ideal for linear motion transfers.
  • Application: Pincers excel in maneuverability; Grabbers prioritize ease-of-use and grip security.
  • Compatibility: Grabbers are compatible with single-shaft manipulators, while pincers are compatible with dual-shaft solutions.

Forks: Perfect as simple sample holder carriers that don't require mechanical actuation. Usually only used in systems with specific or custom sample holder types.
