When your research is on the line, the instrument in your hands matters.
Microdissection. Rodent surgery. Neuroscience procedures. Microinjection. These delicate applications demand consistency you can rely on, procedure after procedure.
WPI's microsurgical instruments are engineered for researchers who need precision they can trust. See the full lineup: https://wpiinc.com/pages/microsurgical-instruments

What makes a tungsten carbide hemostat worth the upgrade?
It isn't simply that tungsten carbide is harder than stainless steel. The real advantage is how well the instrument maintains its gripping performance over time.
Tungsten carbide inserts resist wear at the jaw surface, helping preserve the geometry responsible for a secure, consistent grip. And as a general rule, tungsten carbide surgical instruments performing the same work can last up to five times longer than comparable stainless steel instruments.
Our latest article looks at the materials science behind tungsten carbide hemostats and when the additional investment makes sense.

That rust-colored stain on a stainless steel instrument might not be rust at all.
Dried blood, bio-debris, cleaning chemistry, water spots, excessive heat, and other processing conditions can all cause discoloration that may be mistaken for corrosion.
So how can you tell the difference?
A simple pencil eraser test can help. Remove the discoloration and inspect the surface underneath. If the steel is smooth and intact, you're likely dealing with a stain. If you find pitting or permanent surface damage, corrosion has occurred.
Our latest guide looks at common stain colors, what may cause them, and how to determine whether an instrument can be cleaned or should be replaced.

Your tweezers may look fine, but are the tips actually aligned? Small changes in tip alignment, surface condition, or spring tension can affect grip and precision long before the damage is obvious during normal use.
Our latest article walks through a simple, step-by-step QC inspection for research tweezers, including:
• How to check tip alignment and closure
• What surface damage to look for
• How to test spring tension
• Clear pass/fail criteria
• When an instrument should be removed from service
For fine-tip tweezers used in microsurgery or micromanipulation, this inspection should be performed before every use.

New peer-reviewed publication featuring the EVOM™ Auto.
Scientists at Johnson & Johnson (Belgium and Pennsylvania) just published their findings in Toxicology in Vitro, using WPI’s EVOM™ Auto automated TEER to evaluate human colonoid-derived monolayers (hCDMs) as a next-generation model for drug toxicity and pharmacodynamics research.
Key findings:
🔹 High-throughput, reproducible barrier integrity monitoring across 96-well hCDM and Caco-2 monolayers
🔹 Functional QC readout confirming when hCDMs reached physiological tight-junction formation
🔹 Mechanistic insight into barrier disruption patterns tied to diarrheagenic compound sensitivity
🔹 hCDMs maintained a physiological barrier (332 Ω·cm²) and responded to toxicants more like clinical models than Caco-2
🔹 Enabled integrated PK/PD evaluation linking drug accumulation to barrier function
This is the fourth peer-reviewed study to feature the EVOM™ Auto, with a fifth currently under review. Read the full study and explore the growing body of research: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tiv.2026.106221

Mosquito or Kelly? The right hemostat depends on the job.
Mosquito hemostats feature small, fine jaws for greater precision when working with small vessels, delicate tissue, and confined spaces. Kelly hemostats offer a larger jaw and greater capacity for medium-sized vessels and heavier tissue.
See how the two compare and learn what to consider when selecting hemostatic forceps for your application.
