APEX 'SafeGrip' Screw Caps
When opening and closing microtubes with gloved fingers, getting a firm hold is often a problem. 80.png)
Our APEX SafeGrip screw caps provide the perfect solution. The secret is in the stripes!
This ingenious cap features built-in strips of TPE polymer with a comfortable, non-slip texture to give a firm grip. A secure closure is assured due to an integral O-ring moulded from the same inert polymer.
Stand out from the Crowd
Choose from natural, white or a mix of distinctive colours to give your samples a bright new look. Designed to fit our popular APEX Screw Cap Microtubes, they make an ideal combination for freezing, storage and centrifugation.
