Catalog Number - 46002-02

The 46002‑02 Replacement Blade is a steel cutting component designed specifically for guillotine‑style tubing cutters, restoring effective cutting performance for polymeric tubing materials used in laboratory applications.

Over time, guillotine blades can become dull or damaged, leading to:

• Ragged or uneven tubing cuts

• Deformation of soft tubing materials

• Poor connection quality

• Increased risk of leaks or dead volume

Replacing the blade ensures the cutter continues to provide clean, controlled cuts suitable for general laboratory and non‑critical fluidic applications.

This blade is intended for use with soft polymer tubing, including materials such as:

• PTFE

• FEP

• PFA

• ETFE

• Other flexible polymer tubing

While guillotine‑style cutters can be used on PEEK tubing, the resulting cut is not recommended for critical HPLC connections. For precision, instrument‑grade cuts, a Clean‑Cut90™ system should be used.

Why Replace Guillotine Cutter Blades?

Worn blades can result in:

• Incomplete or crushed tubing ends

• Poor ferrule sealing

• Flow disruption and dead volume

• Increased maintenance issues

Replacing blades restores:

• Clean, consistent cutting performance

• Proper tubing geometry

• Improved connection reliability

• Reduced risk of leaks
