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 an external thread screw top.

• Manufactured from high-quality virgin polypropylene
• High chemical resistance
• Autoclavable
• Available in different colours to aid sample identification
• Suitable for sealing external thread tubes
• Broad operating temperature range: -196 to +121°C (not for use in liquid phase nitrogen)
• Deforming compression seal is more effective than a silicone alternative
• Non-silicone seal means the cap can never be over-tightened
• 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
• Suitable for use with 48 format cryotubes
• Bulk
