Harris Uni-Core Punch, 3.0 mm Tip, Disposable Manual FTA Card Coring Tool, 25/Pk
Qiagen SKU: WB100078

Featuring a polished, case-hardened steel cutting tip housed in a disposable plastic handle, this Uni-Core Punch delivers precise manual coring, retrieval, and controlled ejection of sample discs in a single operation. The 3.0 mm tip cores thin and soft substrates including filter paper, gels, and dried blood on cards, with each tip rated for up to 500 punches before disposal. It is intended for laboratories with low sample volumes, and the disposable design minimizes contamination and carryover between samples when a cleaning procedure is followed.
