29. 96 FORMAT CAPS TPE septum caps and screw caps
Screw Caps - with new low liquid retention design
Reduce sample loss
A significant amount of liquid can become trapped within a standard screw cap resulting in the loss of valuable sample
material. The “hollow” area on the cap catches the sample and surface tension then makes removal difficult.
Studies demonstrate that our new screw-cap design significantly reduces this effect by offering a much lower liquid
retention than many existing caps while maintaining seal quality.
Polypropylene cap with a silicon “O” ring for optimal seal quality.
Compatible with all FluidX 96-format tubes with screw top.
High chemical resistance.
Now available in a choice of ten colours to aid identification.
Reduced
Autoclavable. hollow
Temperature range -196°C to +120°C. Do not use in liquid phase Nitrogen.
Automation friendly.

30. 96 FORMAT CAPS TPE septum caps and screw caps
SBS Cap Carrier
SBS format screw-cap carrier to enable un-capped 96 format tubes to be
capped.
Improve process efficiency
Pre-capped tubes (with screw caps) need to be decapped before use.
The FluidX Cap Carrier enables uncapped tubes to be used immediately and
then capped using an automated screw-cap capper / decapper, leading to
improved process efficiency and enables batch filling of tubes prior to capping.
When used manually, by transferring caps from the carrier to the tube using a
single tube transfer device, the operation also becomes faster and the risk of
contamination is reduced as cap handling is eliminated.
Pre-filled with low retention fluidx screw-caps
Fluidx cap-carriers are pre-filled with the brand new low retention cap that can
reduce sample loss by up to 90% compared with standard caps.

31. AIR FILM THERMAL SEAL
The single-use AirFilm aluminium film is designed for the individual
sealing of polypropylene microtubes in 96 or 384 format racks.
Impenetrable barrier
Creates an air-tight seal that can be easily removed by peeling.
Ideal for low temperature sample storage ( -196°C). Not for use in
liquid phase Nitrogen.
Reduce risk of sample damage
Heat transfer during sealing process is lessened by the
“embossed” seal construction which creates an air pocket
between the seal and tube.
Ideal for automated use
AirFilm seals can be pierced with suitable liquid handling tips.
