Frequently asked questions
Does the flanged design provide a secure seal?
Yes, the flanged plug-style design is specifically engineered to provide a reliable, snug fit. This helps significantly minimize the risk of spills and protects your samples from contamination during storage.
Is this cap compatible with various tube types?
Absolutely. These caps feature universal compatibility for standard laboratory equipment, including: <ul><li>13 mm blood drawing tubes</li><li>Glass test tubes</li><li>Plastic culture tubes</li></ul>
What material is used to ensure durability?
The caps are manufactured from high-quality polyethylene. This material is chosen for its durability and consistency, making it an excellent choice for demanding, high-throughput laboratory environments.
Is this product safe for latex-sensitive environments?
Yes, the McKesson Flanged Plug Caps are not made with natural rubber latex. This makes them a safe option for both laboratory personnel and sensitive samples.
How do these caps assist with sample organization?
The caps feature a vibrant, solid red color. This serves as a standardized visual cue, allowing staff to easily identify, sort, and categorize samples quickly within busy laboratory workflows.
Are these caps suitable for high-volume lab settings?
Yes, they are designed for high-throughput efficiency. The caps are supplied in bulk quantities (1000 per bag), ensuring that you have a consistent and reliable supply for large-scale clinical or research projects.
Does the cap design allow for easy manual handling?
Yes, the lower body of the cap includes a fine, vertical ribbed texture. This design detail provides a secure grip, making it easier for lab technicians to apply or remove the caps manually.
Can I use these for critical sterile procedures?
These specific caps are non-sterile. They are intentionally designed for standard, non-critical laboratory procedures where high-volume, reliable containment is the primary requirement.
What is the primary function of the flanged ring?
The wider flanged middle ring serves as a precision stop. When inserted into a 13 mm tube, it ensures the cap sits at the correct depth, providing an airtight seal while preventing the cap from being pushed too far into the tube.
Are these caps useful for preventing sample evaporation?
Yes, by providing a tight and secure closure, these caps are essential for maintaining the integrity of stored samples, effectively preventing evaporation and cross-contamination over time.
