Swiss Made Rubis Tweezers for Precision WorkMore than sixty years ago, the first precision tweezers were developed to place ruby stones into watch movements -which is where the name Rubis came from. Today, the Rubis Tweezers are known all over the world for their high quality, durability and detailed engineering.

Sterilizable Advantages

SA 30 HRC No 400° C Yes SA Steel is the most popular forceps alloy. Very good resistance to corrosion and acids, such as hydrochloric acid, mineral and organic acids.

Inox 50 HRC Yes 400° C Yes Contains chromium added to carbon steel, which offers good stainless qualities along with good resistance to corrosion.

Titanium 33 HRC No Up to 430° C Yes Titanium is lighter than stainless steel and totally resistant to corrosion from acids or salt water.

Axal 56 HRC No 500° C Yes Axal is the most durable forceps alloy. Axal lasts on average four times longer than other alloys. Totally resistant to corrosion from acids or salt water. Most cost effective alloy for laboratory use.

Dimensions of tweezers styles and corresponding tips

Tip Profiles

Standard Made for high precision and consistently precise work under a microscope. Tip dimensions 0.10 x 0.06 mm.

Biology Twice as fine as “Standard Tips.” Especially produced for high precision laboratory work under the microscope. Tip dimensions 0.05 x 0.02 mm.

Super Fine Tips

Four times finer than the “Standard Tips.” These tips are extremely delicate for the finest work under the microscope. Extra care is needed for these tips as they are very fragile. Tip dimensions 0.025 x 0.05 mm.
