Frequently asked questions
Are these caps safe for centrifugation?
Yes, these caps are engineered to remain secure during rigorous laboratory procedures, including centrifugation, agitation, refrigeration, and freezing without cracking or failing.
Can I use these for through-cap sampling?
Absolutely. The material allows for direct through-cap sampling, which is ideal for closed-tube instrumentation systems. This feature helps increase efficiency and significantly reduces the risk of sample contamination.
What tube materials are these compatible with?
These caps are designed for broad compatibility and can be used with a wide range of laboratory containers, including blood collection tubes, as well as various glass and plastic tubes measuring 10 to 13 mm in diameter.
Do these caps require two-handed application?
No, they are specifically designed to support one-handed application, which helps improve workflow and efficiency in high-throughput laboratory environments.
Will these caps interfere with chemistry testing?
The caps are engineered to be non-interfering with most common chemistry, coagulation, or drug monitoring methodologies, making them a safe choice for diverse clinical and research applications.
Are these caps provided in sterile packaging?
No, these are non-sterile caps. Please ensure they are suitable for your specific laboratory’s sterility requirements before purchase.
Are these suitable for cold storage?
Yes, the elastomer copolymer material is designed to maintain its structural integrity during refrigeration and freezing, ensuring your samples remain protected throughout storage and transport.
What material are these caps made from?
The Fisherbrand SAV-IT caps are constructed from a durable elastomer copolymer. This material is chosen for its resilience and ability to maintain a reliable seal under stressful physical conditions.
Can these be applied over the rim?
Yes, they feature a unique reversible design. You can apply them either inside the tube for a standard seal or over the exterior rim, providing flexibility for different laboratory glassware and plasticware.
Do these caps take up much space on a rack?
The caps feature a low-profile, minimalist design that occupies very little vertical space, which is advantageous for labs that need to maximize space on storage racks or in refrigeration units.
