Long Term Stored Sample Integrity Enhanced by New Formulation Tube Caps

term sample storage integrity.
Extensive research by Micronic has resulted in a USP Class VI certificated Thermo Plastic Elastomer (TPE) that provides a tube seal that is easily pierced, highly hydrophobic, better resealing properties after repeated piercing and no discolouration even after long term
exposure to oxygen.
Designed to increase productivity and eliminate expensive tube capping systems, the new generation Micronic TPE coloured caps provide single action capping of a single tube, a row of tubes, or a complete 96-tube rack. With a choice of eight different colours, the new TPE caps provide a simple, yet highly effective means of visually differentiating stored samples by person, department, project or even by the day of the week they were submitted.
Each TPE coloured cap cluster is made of two components: the cap, and a
retaining film. This film is easily removed, leaving a high integrity seal on individual tubes. The novel cap cluster design of the TPE coloured caps virtually eliminates cross contamination problems associated with some traditional capping systems.
Manufactured from chemically resistant and hydrophobic polymer, each TPE
coloured cap product is multi-piercable ensuring long-term sample integrity.
Combining operational flexibility with absolute sample integrity, TPE
coloured caps are compatible with all Micronic standard or coded tube
products. Micronic TPE coloured caps may be seamlessly integrated into
automated drug discovery and high-throughput screening systems.
