Frequently asked questions
Are these caps compatible with different tube sizes?
Yes, these closures are engineered for universal compatibility and are designed to provide a secure fit on the three most common evacuated blood collection tube sizes: 12 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm.
Can these be used during high-speed centrifugation?
Absolutely. These closures are specifically molded for reliable durability, meaning they are robust enough to remain firmly in place and maintain their integrity during standard centrifugation procedures.
Does the design make them easier to remove?
Yes, they feature an ergonomic double thumb tab design. This allows for quick, easy, and secure application or removal, which helps streamline high-volume laboratory workflows.
Do these protect against sample contamination?
Yes, the precision-molded Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) material provides an effective seal that protects laboratory personnel from aerosols and guards samples against cross-contamination.
Are these caps made with natural rubber latex?
No, these McKesson tube closures are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for environments with latex-sensitive staff or procedures.
Should these be autoclaved after use?
No, these closures are not suitable for autoclaving. They are designed for single-use applications and should be discarded after use to prevent the risk of cross-contamination.
Can these caps be washed and reused?
No, these are intended for single use only. Reusing them is not recommended, as it significantly increases the risk of cross-contamination between samples.
Are they sterile upon arrival?
No, these specific closures are non-sterile. They are intended for standard laboratory use where non-sterile recapping is appropriate.
How many caps are included in a bag?
Each bag contains 1,000 individual red snap cap closures, providing a reliable bulk supply for high-volume laboratory settings.
What is the best way to store these caps?
To maintain the integrity of the material, keep the bags in a cool, dry place and ensure they are stored away from sources of extreme heat.
