Frequently asked questions
Is the material used for these caps durable?
Yes, these caps are manufactured from high-quality Low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This material is precision-molded to ensure a sturdy, reliable fit that remains secure even during demanding laboratory procedures like centrifugation.
Does the double thumb tab improve lab efficiency?
Absolutely. The double thumb tab design is specifically engineered to reduce hand fatigue and speed up workflows. It allows for quick, ergonomic application and removal of the caps, which is ideal for high-volume settings.
Are these caps compatible with most standard tubes?
Yes, these closures offer versatile compatibility. They are precision-engineered to fit a wide range of standard tubes, specifically those with 12 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm diameters.
Do these caps provide effective protection against contamination?
They provide a secure, robust seal designed to:
- Protect laboratory workspaces from infectious aerosols.
- Guard against sample cross-contamination.
- Prevent liquid spills during storage or transport.
Are these closures made with natural rubber latex?
No, these McKesson Snap Caps are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for laboratories aiming to maintain a latex-free environment.
Can I use these caps in an autoclave?
No, these caps are not intended for autoclaving. They are designed for standard laboratory sealing and processing but should not be subjected to high-temperature sterilization cycles.
Are these caps suitable for sterile applications?
These specific caps are non-sterile. They are best suited for general clinical, research, and diagnostic laboratory workflows where sterility is not a primary requirement for the closure itself.
How many caps are included in each purchase?
Each order includes a bulk supply of 1000 tube closure snap caps per bag, providing an economical solution for busy laboratory settings.
Are these caps reliable during high-speed centrifugation?
Yes, they are engineered for high stability. The precision-molded fit ensures the caps remain firmly in place, providing a reliable barrier during rigorous mechanical processes like centrifugation.
Are these designed specifically for evacuated blood tubes?
Yes, they are optimized for securing evacuated glass blood collection tubes as well as standard plastic test tubes within the specified 12 mm to 16 mm diameter range.
