STAINLESS STEEL CLOSURES WITH and WITHOUT FINGERS

Stainless steel closures continue to exemplify excellence in culture tube and flask closures. Manufactured from type 305 stainless steel, they can be used indefinitely without corroding. The fingers grip the outside of the tube firmly and will not lose their resilience through repeated autoclaving or dry heat sterilization.

SILICONE SPONGE CLOSURES
Silicone Sponge Plugs and Closures are the ultimate replacements for cotton plugs when working with aerobic cultures. They cut losses due to evaporation in half in comparison with cotton plugs, thus minimizing abnormally concentrated culture media and changes in pH values. They can be dry heat sterilized repeatedly at 180°C and are easy to clean and maintain.

2004-Silicone Sponge Closures

•With sealed-in silicone sponge filter

•Fits snugly over outside of neck preventing passage of aerosols

•Ideal for fitting on side arms of spinner flask to permit passage of CO2 into cultures
