Finding the Dumont forceps best suited for your needs

Alloys

Hardness Magnetic Temperature resistance Autoclavable Advantages

Titanium	Least Hard No Up to 430° C Yes Resistant to corrosion from nitric acid, chloride, and salt water. Titanium is 40% lighter than stainless steel.
Dumoxel	Hard No 400° C Yes The most popular alloy available for Dumont forceps offers the best resistance to corrosion, sulphuric environments, hydrochloric acids, and all other mineral and organic acids.
Inox	Harder Yes 400° C Yes Available for most Dumont forceps. Contains chromium added to carbon steel, which results in some loss of hardness but offers good stainless qualities and resistance to corrosion.
Dumostar	Harder No 500° C Yes More durable and corrosion resistant than the best stainless steels. Highly resistant to mineral and organic acids, and salt water. Dumostar lasts an average of four times longer than Dumoxel and Inox. Most cost effective alloy for laboratory use.
Carbon	Hardest Yes N/A No Extremely hard; ensuring strong tips. Easily stains and rusts without proper care. Carbon cannot be immersed in a water bath or sterilized

Tip profiles: Dimensions vary. See each style for specific dimensions (width x thickness).

Standard	Made for high precision and consistently precise work under a microscope.
Biology	Twice as fine as “Standard Tips.” Especially produced for high precision laboratory work under the microscope.
Super Fine Tips	Four times finer than the “Standard Tips.” These tips are extremely delicate for the finest work under the microscope. Extra care is needed for these tips as they are very fragile.
