Specify laboratory forceps for controlled gripping, positioning, and sample handling across New Zealand laboratory supplies and fixtures workflows. John Morris Group supports laboratory teams with practical handling tools, including selected products available through Kinesis and Labfriend, for cover slips, membranes, specimens, filters, and small laboratory components.
Laboratory Forceps
Laboratory Forceps for NZ Sample Handling and Preparation Work
Our New Zealand range of Laboratory forceps is suited to controlled gripping and manipulation tasks across research, education, industrial, and quality control laboratories:
- Fine handling control: Laboratory forceps help users hold, lift, and position small samples, coverslips, membranes, filter papers, and other delicate items.
- Preparation and dissection use: Forceps support dissection, specimen positioning, small part retrieval, and bench preparation where finger contact is unsuitable.
- Reusable laboratory formats: Stainless steel forceps are commonly selected for repeated use, cleaning, and practical corrosion resistance in routine laboratory workflows.
Key Criteria When Selecting Laboratory Forceps
Choosing the right Laboratory forceps for a New Zealand facility depends on the handling task, sample sensitivity, and cleaning process:
- Tip configuration: Select pointed, blunt, serrated, straight, or curved tips based on whether the task needs fine precision, secure grip, or reduced sample damage.
- Length and access: Match forceps length to the vessel depth, workspace, and level of reach needed for safe handling.
- Cleaning requirements: Confirm whether the forceps need to be reusable, autoclavable, corrosion-resistant, or reserved for a dedicated sample type.
Build a Complete Handling and Dissection Setup
Efficient preparation work often depends on pairing forceps with the right cutting and manipulation tools. These related categories are commonly specified alongside laboratory forceps:
- Laboratory Scissors: Helpful for trimming, cutting, and dissection work where forceps are used to hold or position the sample.
- Laboratory Scalpels: Used for controlled incision or fine cutting tasks that require stable sample handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is forceps in laboratory work?
Forceps in laboratory work are gripping tools used to hold, lift, position, or transfer small and delicate items. They help reduce direct contact with specimens, coverslips, filters, membranes, or contamination-sensitive materials.
What is the use of forceps in laboratory work?
Forceps are used for careful sample handling, specimen positioning, cover slip placement, dissection support, membrane transfer, and small object retrieval. The correct tip style depends on how delicate or secure the grip needs to be.
Can John Morris Group source laboratory forceps for NZ facilities?
Yes. John Morris Group can assist New Zealand laboratories with sourcing laboratory forceps and related handling tools for education, research, industrial testing, and quality control environments. Contact 0800 651 700 for local procurement support.
