Cutting Blade, Replacement for Guillotine Style Tubing Cutter. ARE-Applied Research brand. 10/PK.
Additional Info:
The 46002‑02‑010 Replacement Blades (10‑Pack) are designed for use with guillotine‑style tubing cutters, providing a high‑volume solution for maintaining cutting performance in laboratories handling polymeric tubing.
Over time, cutting blades can dull or degrade, resulting in:
Rough or uneven tubing cuts
Deformation of soft tubing materials
Inconsistent connection quality
Increased risk of leaks or dead volume
These replacement blades restore the cutter’s ability to produce clean, controlled cuts, ensuring proper tubing preparation for routine laboratory and fluidic system applications.
These blades are suitable for soft polymer tubing, including:
PTFE
FEP
PFA
ETFE
Other flexible polymer materials
While acceptable for basic cutting needs, guillotine‑style cutters (even with new blades) are not recommended for critical HPLC connections where perfectly perpendicular cuts are required. For high‑precision work, the Clean‑Cut90™ tubing cutter system should be used.
Why Choose a 10‑Pack Blade Set?
This configuration is ideal for:
High‑throughput laboratories
Multi‑instrument and multi‑technician environments
Routine maintenance programs
Standardizing tool performance across workstations
Provides:
Continuous availability of replacement blades
Reduced downtime due to worn cutters
Consistent performance across users and workflows
Why Replace Guillotine Cutter Blades?
Using worn blades can lead to:
Incomplete or crushed tubing cuts
Poor sealing and connection reliability
Flow inconsistencies
Increased maintenance issues
Replacing blades ensures:
Improved cut consistency
Proper tubing geometry
Better connection quality
Reduced risk of leaks
