Tube Screw Caps made from high-quality virgin PP, developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high-density storage applications.
Optimal seal quality and sample security
Suitable for cryogenic storage
Available in cap carriers or bulk
For use with external/internal thread tubes
Product Details
Developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high-density storage applications. Designed for reduced sample loss: significant amounts of liquid can become trapped within a standard design screw cap, resulting in potential loss of valuable sample.
Studies demonstrate that Azenta Life Sciences cap design, with a reduced hollow, reduces this effect by lowering liquid retention whilst maintaining seal quality. This hollow area on the cap can catch sample, and surface tension then makes cap removal difficult.
Compatible with all Azenta Life Sciences sample storage tubes with a screw top, caps are available for use with either external or internal thread Azenta Life Sciences screw top tubes. Manufactured from high-quality virgin polypropylene.
Key Features
Pratical Design
High chemical resistance
Autoclavable
Available in up to 10 different colors to aid sample identification
Suitable for sealing external and internal thread tubes
Broad operating temperature range*: -196°C to +121°C
Options
External thread screw caps, standard
A deforming compression seal more effective than a silicone alternative
A non-silicone seal means the cap can never be over-tightened
Caps and tubes are manufactured from the same material, preventing differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles
