Agilent Ergonomic Manual DeCapper for 11mm caps 5040-4668
The Agilent Ergonomic Manual DeCapper (catalog 5040-4668) is a hand-operated tool specifically engineered to remove 11 mm (ND11) crimp caps from laboratory vials. It is intended for routine decapping in analytical and sample-preparation workflows where manual removal of crimp seals is required. The device emphasizes an ergonomic, lightweight design that serves as an economical alternative to electronic decappers for common lab use.
Key Features:
- Model: Agilent 5040-4668 (manual decapper)
- Compatible with 11 mm crimp caps (ND11 closure diameter)

- Construction: fiber-reinforced resin body with steel reinforcement in handles
- Narrow jaws for improved vertical clearance over vials
Advantages:
- Reduces wrist strain and hand discomfort through an ergonomically contoured, lighter-weight handle design
- Top-mounted adjustment knob gives visual directionality and functions as an indicator when decapping is complete
- Narrow jaw profile provides better access to vial tops and improved vertical clearance during decapping
