Description
Closure caps for test tubes, Labocap 17/18, silver, are aluminium closures for use in microbiological, bacteriological and biotechnological laboratories. Their main role is to shield samples from external contamination while ensuring a sterilizable yet non-hermetic seal. Fabricated from high-quality aluminium and fitted with an inner spring of nickel-plated steel, each cap grips the tube reliably and permits controlled air exchange. These Labocap items from manufacturer Labbox are autoclavable and temperature-resistant up to 140 °C, making them suitable for repeated sterilization cycles in culture and sample workflows. Delivered in packs of 10 pieces with a net weight of 0,050 kg, the silver 17/18 size matches corresponding test-tube diameters where gas exchange is preferred to a fully airtight closure. The aluminium body and spring retention provide durable everyday protection for open tube cultures and intermediate laboratory samples.
This article is part of Screw caps & closures, in Stoppers, caps & closures.

Questions about Test tube caps, Labocap, 17/18, silver, 10 pcs
What is this article?
Test tube caps, Labocap, 17/18, silver, 10 pcs is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Screw caps & closures, inside Stoppers, caps & closures, in Labware.
A screw cap has a thread and a liner. The thread has to match the bottle. The liner has to survive the liquid: a pulp liner fails in a solvent that a PTFE-faced liner ignores. The colour of the cap is not the specification.
A closure is the part that decides whether a bottle stays shut and whether the contents attack the seal. A ground-glass stopper matches a ground neck. A screw cap needs the right thread and a liner that survives the liquid. Rubber and silicone stoppers push into a mouth. The liner, not the colour of the cap, is the chemical choice. The vessels they close are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
