Description
Kapsenberg® caps made of aluminium with handle, designed for tubes of 16 mm diameter, are practical closures for culture tubes and similar laboratory glassware. The aluminium construction provides a lightweight yet durable cover that helps protect contents from contamination while remaining easy to apply and remove. The integrated handle improves grip and handling, especially when working with multiple tubes or when gloves are worn. These caps from manufacturer Hecht are intended for use with matching 16 mm outer-diameter tubes commonly found in microbiology, cell culture and general laboratory workflows. Aluminium resists many routine laboratory conditions and can be cleaned for repeated use according to laboratory practice. The design supports quick covering of open tubes during short incubations, transport within the lab or temporary storage on the bench. Supplied as a single piece, the Kapsenberg® cap offers a simple metal alternative to other closure types where a handled aluminium lid for 16 mm tubes is preferred. It complements standard heavy-wall or culture tubes of the corresponding diameter in everyday laboratory organisation.
This article is part of Screw caps & closures, in Stoppers, caps & closures.

Questions about Kapsenberg® caps, aluminium, with handle for: 16 mm Ø
What is this article?
Kapsenberg® caps, aluminium, with handle for: 16 mm Ø is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht 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.
