Frequently Asked Questions
Which tubes do these screw caps fit?
They are designed for Globe Scientific externally threaded sample tubes in the 6030–6059 series. Pair the cap with the matching tube to ensure a proper thread engagement and leak-resistant seal.
What material are the caps made from?
The caps are molded from HDPE, which offers strong resistance to aqueous buffers, dilute acids, and dilute bases, plus good performance with alcohols. Avoid prolonged exposure to aromatic and chlorinated solvents.
Are these caps suitable for freezer storage?
Yes. HDPE caps perform well at −20 °C and −80 °C, making them suitable for biobanking and long-term specimen archiving when paired with compatible tubes.
How are the caps packaged and sold?
Each SKU ships as a case of 1000 caps in a single color at $109.50 per case. Mix colors across SKUs to build a color-coding scheme for your workflow.
