Frequently asked questions
Does the design ensure a secure seal?
Yes. These caps feature a specialized flanged plug configuration engineered specifically to create a reliable, tight seal against the inner diameter of 13 mm laboratory tubes.
Is the material durable for laboratory use?
Absolutely. The caps are constructed from high-quality polyethylene, chosen for its excellent durability and chemical compatibility within standard laboratory environments.
Will these fit various types of 13 mm tubes?
Yes, they offer broad compatibility. They are specifically engineered to fit:
- Blood collection tubes
- Glass test tubes
- Plastic culture tubes
Are these caps safe for latex-sensitive environments?
Yes, these products are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for clinical and research settings where latex allergies are a concern.
Is the grip easy for manual handling?
The lower portion of the cap features a ribbed or knurled texture around the circumference, which provides a secure grip for easier insertion and removal during routine lab procedures.
How many caps are provided in each case?
Each case contains a substantial supply for high-volume lab needs, totaling 20,000 caps (packaged as 1,000 per bag, with 20 bags per case).
Does the cap design prevent accidental opening?
The flanged plug design is intentional; the wider circular flange sits flush against the tube opening, providing a robust fit that maintains closure integrity during routine movement.
Is the material resistant to common laboratory chemicals?
Yes, the polyethylene construction is specifically selected for its chemical compatibility, ensuring the caps maintain their structural integrity when exposed to common reagents found in clinical or research labs.
Are these caps suitable for routine daily procedures?
Yes, they are designed as a professional-grade accessory to help laboratories maintain consistency and safety when sealing samples in glass or plastic tubing.
Is there a specific orientation for the cap?
The cap is designed with a conical top section that transitions into the flange, which naturally guides the cap into the 13 mm tube opening for a swift and secure seal every time.
