Frequently asked questions
Does this cap offer a secure, reliable seal?
Yes. This screw cap is precision-engineered specifically for 5 mL false bottom tubes that feature threaded necks. It is designed to provide a tight and consistent seal for your laboratory samples.
Is the material durable for lab use?
Absolutely. The cap is manufactured from high-quality, resilient polypropylene, which is a standard material in laboratory environments known for its durability and resistance.
Will this fit all 16 mm tubes?
This cap is designed to fit 16 mm diameter false bottom tubes that feature specific threaded necks. It is not universal and should be used specifically with threaded 5 mL tubes for which it was engineered.
Does the cap design allow for an easy grip?

Is the cap suitable for sterile environments?
This specific configuration is non-sterile. It is designed for general laboratory applications where non-sterile sealing is appropriate.
Is the cap material chemically compatible for most tasks?
The cap is made from polypropylene, which is widely utilized in labs for its excellent chemical resistance to a broad range of substances, ensuring the integrity of your sealed samples.
Is this a standard laboratory-grade component?
Yes, Globe Scientific is a recognized brand in laboratory supplies. This cap is a specialized lab-ancillary product designed to meet the rigorous performance needs of clinical staff and researchers.
Can I use these for long-term storage?
While these caps provide a secure screw-on closure, they are engineered primarily as a reliable sealing solution for 5 mL threaded laboratory tubes. Ensure your specific storage protocols align with the properties of polypropylene.
Is there a specific color-coding option?
