Plastic spring specimen clips hold specimens upright and positioned inside the mold during castable (cold) mounting, so the surface of interest faces the mold base. The spring design grips a range of specimen sizes, and the economical plastic construction is disposable, avoiding cross-contamination between mounts. Sold in packs of 50, 100, and 1000.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a specimen clip used for?
It holds a specimen in the correct position inside the mold while castable resin cures, so the face of interest ends up flat against the mold bottom.
Plastic or metal clips — which should I use?
Plastic is economical and disposable, which avoids cross-contamination; metal springs are reusable and more durable for heavier or awkward specimens.
