Product Overview
The PIKE Hand Press is a straightforward, mechanical tool designed for labs that require occasional pellet making with minimal complexity. By using a lever-arm mechanism, it provides sufficient force to compress KBr and sample mixtures into transparent discs. It is an ideal entry-level solution for educational labs or for researchers who only need to perform transmission measurements infrequently.The hand press is compatible with various die sizes, including 1 mm, 3 mm, and 7 mm inserts. Its lightweight and portable design means it can be used anywhere in the lab without requiring bench space for a large hydraulic unit. While it doesn't offer the high-pressure capabilities of our 15-ton presses, it is more than capable of producing high-quality pellets for most routine FTIR applications
