Forceps

GISCOM Forceps are precision-molded, lightweight plastic forceps designed for safe, hygienic, and efficient handling of small laboratory items, samples, and delicate materials. Ideal for situations where metal forceps are unsuitable, these autoclavable PP forceps ensure contamination-free operations. They provide a secure grip, making them essential for sample transfer, microbiology procedures, histology work, and general laboratory handling.

 Key Features

• Autoclavable polypropylene construction ensures reusability and long operational life
• Non-metallic and non-reactive, ideal for work with corrosive chemicals or sensitive samples
• Textured gripping surfaces for improved control and handling precision
• Lightweight, ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended use
• Rust-free and corrosion-proof, unlike traditional metal forceps
• Safe for sterile environments, reducing the risk of contamination
• Smooth, rounded tips minimise damage to delicate samples

 Handling & Precautions

• Sterilise before critical applications, especially in microbiology or tissue handling
• Autoclave only within recommended PP limits (121°C; avoid dry heat sterilization).
• Do not expose to open flame, excessive mechanical force, or corrosive vapours beyond PP resistance
• Clean with mild detergents; avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain surface integrity
• Store in a clean, dry environment to maintain sterility and product longevity

Applications

• Handling small items in microbiology, pathology, and molecular biology laboratories
• Safe transfer of filters, tissues, slides, membranes, and chemically sensitive materials
• Ideal for pharma QC/QA labs, chemical research facilities, and academic institutions
• Useful in sterile procedures where metal forceps may cause contamination
• Widely used in sample preparation, microbiology plating, and routine laboratory workflows
