Developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high-density storage applications.
- Polypropylene caps designed for optimal seal quality and sample security
- Compatible with all FluidX 96-format sample storage tubes with screw top
- Available for use with either external thread or internal thread FluidX screw top tubes
- Manufactured from high-quality virgin polypropylene, supplied production sterile in bags of 960 caps
Practical Design Based on Experience of Applications
- High chemical resistance
- Broad operating temperature range -196°C to +120°C, do not use in liquid phase nitrogen
- Automation-friendly, available in FluidX Cap Carrier for use with automated capping and decapping systems
- Autoclavable
- Available in up to 10 different colors to aid sample identification
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
- This hollow area on the cap can catch sample, and surface tension then makes cap removal difficult
- Studies demonstrate that FluidX cap design, with a reduced hollow, reduces this effect by lowering liquid retention whilst maintaining seal quality
Screw Caps for Internal Thread FluidX Tubes
- Co-molded screw caps for internal thread tubes eliminate the possibility of over tightening
- Co-molded caps eliminate the failures common in caps using silicon O-rings
- Improved internal thread provides a more secure seal when using screw caps
Screw Caps for External Thread FluidX Tubes
- Deforming compression seal is more effective than a silicone alternative
- Non-silicone seal means the cap can never be overtightened
- Cap and tube manufactured from the same material, preventing differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles
- Double-start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, facilitating automation
