Frequently asked questions
Are these caps designed for a secure seal?
Yes, these snap-style closures are precision-molded from low-density polyethylene (LDPE). They are engineered to provide a tight, reliable seal, making them suitable for demanding laboratory procedures including:
- Centrifugation
- Agitation
- Refrigeration
Can I use these with standard 16 mm tubes?
Absolutely. These caps are specifically engineered for 16 mm diameter vessels, including:
- Blood drawing tubes
- Glass test tubes
- Plastic culture tubes
Is the thumb tab easy to use?
The single-thumb tab is designed for both ergonomics and efficiency. It allows for rapid, effortless removal of the cap while maintaining a streamlined profile that permits dense tube placement in standard laboratory racks.
Are these caps safe for latex-sensitive environments?
Yes, these closures are constructed without the use of natural rubber latex, ensuring they meet standard laboratory safety requirements and offer broad compatibility.
Is the material durable for high-volume lab work?
These caps are manufactured from high-quality low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand the rigors of clinical and research laboratory environments.
Does the natural color help with sample identification?
Yes, the closures are produced in a natural, semi-transparent tone. This design choice provides a clear view, facilitating easier sample visualization during your workflow.
Are these caps suitable for refrigeration?
Yes, the precision-molded design is specifically built to maintain its integrity and seal during refrigeration as well as other processing tasks like centrifugation and agitation.
How many caps come in a package?
Each unit includes a bulk quantity of 1000 snap caps per bag, making them an efficient choice for high-volume clinical, diagnostic, or research facilities.
Will these caps interfere with tubes in a rack?
Not at all. The design features a streamlined profile with a single, functional thumb tab. This allows tubes to be arranged closely together in standard laboratory racks without the closures bumping into each other.
Are these closures sterile?
These specific closures are non-sterile, designed for general lab protocols where non-sterile, high-performance sealing is required.
