Globe Scientific Screw Caps for Microtubes, O-Ring Seal, Polypropylene — 6 Colors, 1000/Case
The Globe Scientific Screw Cap for Microtube with O-Ring delivers a secure, leak-resistant closure for microtube-based sample storage, cryogenic archiving, and color-coded specimen tracking. Molded from polypropylene with an integrated O-ring, each cap maintains a tight seal during freeze-thaw cycles and long-term biobanking. Six color options simplify sample sorting across busy bench and core-lab workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these screw caps fit all Globe Scientific microtubes?
These O-ring screw caps are designed to thread onto compatible Globe Scientific screw-top microtubes. Confirm your tube catalog number against thread format before ordering to ensure a correct seal match.
Are the caps supplied sterile?
No, these caps are non-sterile as shipped. If your protocol requires sterility, validate autoclave or alternative sterilization parameters against polypropylene heat tolerance before use.
Why choose an O-ring closure over a standard cap?
The integrated O-ring forms a positive seal that resists leakage and sample evaporation, making it well suited to long-term storage and cryogenic freeze-thaw conditions where reliable closure integrity matters.
Can I order multiple colors on one purchase order?
Yes. Each color is a separate SKU, sold per case of 1000, and all six can be combined on a single order.
