Tubing Cutter, Polymeric Tubing, Guillotine Style, Red. ARE-Applied Research brand. 10/PK.
Additional Info:
The 46002‑01‑010 Guillotine‑Style Tubing Cutter (10‑Pack) is a high‑volume, cost‑efficient solution for laboratories performing routine cutting of soft polymeric tubing across multiple instruments or workstations. Designed for speed and convenience, this tool provides quick, functional cuts for general fluidic applications where ultra‑precise, HPLC‑grade cuts are not required.
This cutter is suitable for a broad range of polymer materials, including:
PTFE
ETFE
PFA
FEP
Other soft polymer tubing
While the cutter can be used on PEEK tubing, the resulting cut is not recommended for critical HPLC connections, where clean, perpendicular tubing ends are essential to ensure proper sealing and chromatographic performance. For precision applications, the Clean‑Cut90™ tubing cutter should be used.
Proper tubing preparation remains essential even for non‑critical applications. Poorly cut tubing can result in:
Leaks at fittings
Incomplete ferrule sealing
Increased dead volume
Reduced flow efficiency
This guillotine‑style cutter provides a practical and economical method for routine lab work, training environments, and high‑volume usage scenarios.
Why Choose a 10‑Pack Cutter Set?
This configuration is ideal for:
High‑throughput laboratories
Large teams or shared work environments
Multi‑instrument setups requiring frequent tubing adjustments
Standardizing tools across multiple technicians
The 10‑pack ensures:
Consistent tool availability
Reduced delays from tool sharing
Improved workflow efficiency
Why Use a Guillotine‑Style Tubing Cutter?
This cutter is best suited for:
General laboratory tubing cutting
Non‑critical fluidic connections
Fast, repeatable cutting of flexible tubing
Cost‑sensitive or disposable workflows
For critical HPLC or LC‑MS applications, improper cuts can result in:
Leaks or poor sealing
Dead volume and chromatographic distortion
Reduced analytical reproducibility
Use a precision cutter when performance is critical.
