Adapter Matrix 0.5mL cho LabElite Decapper

This is an adapter for Matrix 0.5mL vials for the LabElite decapper. These inserts were outrageously expensive and required a lead time of a few months which we couldn't afford, so we decided to re-use the hex-shaped insert (of which we had a few) and develop an adapter for it.

Please note that the pictures show the insert still not fully aligned, while we were testing it.

It is likely not as durable as the full-metal original, but we did several thousand cycles so far without issues:
