Azenta Cp, Ext, Cryo, Rd, Bk, 480ca

Tube Screw Caps developed to exceed the dem&s of sample security, management & tracking in modern high-density storage applications

• Optimal seal quality & sample security
• Suitable for cryogenic storage
• Made from high-quality virgin PP
• Available in cap carriers or bulk
• For use with external/internal thread tubes

Developed to exceed the dem&s of sample security, management & tracking in modern high-density storage applications. Designed for reduced sample loss: significant amounts of liquid can become trapped within a st&ard 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, & 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 colors to aid sample identification
• Suitable for sealing external & internal thread tubes
• Broad operating temperature range*: -196°C to +121°C

*Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen

Options:

External thread screw caps, st&ard

• A deforming compression seal more effective than a silicone alternative
• A non-silicone seal means the cap can never be over-tightened
• Caps & 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/de-capping systems
• Automation friendly screw caps provide flexibility to use tubes across a range of industry-recognized automated tube h&ling platforms
• Internal thread screw caps, automation friendly
• Automation friendly co-molded screw caps for internal thread tubes eliminate the possibility of over tightening
• Co-molded caps eliminate the failures in caps using a silicone O-ring
• Double start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, facilitating automation
