Introduction
The Rapid-Core biopsy & sampling punch with plunger system is high quality coring tool, designed to cut, core, punch and retrieve smaller samples of thin and soft materials such as paper, plastics, films, gels, tissue, fabrics, cloth, tapes leaves, paint and coatings. It is the ideal tool to cut smaller samples from larger sheets or films of softer materials for subsequent microscopy investigations and SEM/EDS analysis. The Rapid-Core punches are especially recommended as a DNA sampling tools, for forensic investigations and for laboratory sampling applications. There are 15 different coring diameters available with cutting diameters ranging from 0.35 to 8.0 mm and a coring depth of 5mm. The cutting tip is retractable for protecting and safety, the plunger system mechanism ensures clean and secure removal and/or transfer of coring samples.
