FluidXâ„¢ Tube Screw Cap

Product Code: 68-53100-Z6N

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 a 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

Practical Design

  • High chemical resistance
  • Autoclavable
  • Available in up to 10 different colours to aid sample identification
  • Suitable for sealing external and internal thread tubes
  • Broad operating temperature range*:  -196 °C to +121 °C

******Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen*****

Options 

External thread screw caps, standard

  • A deforming compression seal is 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
  • A double-start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180, thereby facilitating automation

 

External thread screw caps, automation-friendly

  • Automation-friendly options, available in Azenta Life Sciences cap carriers for use with automated capping/decapping systems
  • Automation-friendly screw caps provide flexibility to use tubes across a range of industry-recognised automated tube handling platforms
  • Internal thread screw caps, automation-friendly
  • Automation-friendly co-moulded screw caps for internal thread tubes eliminate the possibility of over-tightening
  • Co-moulded caps eliminate the failures in caps using a silicone O-ring
  • Double start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180, facilitating automation
