StudenTek Products
High quality at special student prices

SPI Supplies has traditionally offered only one quality, namely the very
best quality, for the serious microscopist worldwide. We have never
compromised on that philosophy and we are not about to do that now.
But what we have found is that in a number of instances lower priced
alternatives are available, they might not have the complete "feel" of their
research grade counterparts, but for someone working on a tight budget, the
quality in many instances is quite acceptable. We have responded in this
way, that is, the creation of a new product family because of the many
requests we routinely receive from those teaching a large number of
students, looking for lower priced alternatives. The most often asked for
items to be available in a lower priced category have been "high precision
tweezers".
Therefore it is fitting for our first product introduced in our
StudenTek line is the biggest volume selling tweezer, Style #5. Will
the StudenTek Style #5 "work" like its more expensive counterparts,
the SPI or Dumont antimagnetic stainless steel tweezers? Well, we have
proved that there is no problem picking up TEM grids. We have found that
there is no problem using the StudenTek tweezers for a number of other
tasks in the typical microscopy laboratory that the more expensive tweezers
are asked to perform.
But a top of the line SPI or Dumont tweezer, it is not ! Some of the
comments from those who have tried them out:
"Great quality for a great price, but the "feel" after using them for a
day is not quite as comfortable."
"We don't seem to be able to autoclave the StudenTek tweezers as
many times."
"Picks up grids like the more expensive tweezers, but we think the
tips might become dull a little faster."
"Do you people realize that you have been responsible for our cutting one
of our largest class room costs, that is, for tweezers, by one half ?
Thank you very much !"
So after extensive testing in our own laboratory, and then field testing
the concept, we have come to the conclusion that there is a lot of money
for some customers to save by switching over to StudenTek tweezers.
They come with the same money back, complete satisfaction guarantee. So try
a pair today and see if you can tell the difference !
