Each variant is sized to the tube inner diameter: 12 mm, 13 mm, or 16 mm. Match the cap size to your tube's bore for a snug flange plug seal; confirm tube ID against the manufacturer's spec before ordering. Are these caps sterile? No. The flange plug caps are supplied non-sterile. If your workflow requires sterility, validate an in-house autoclave or chemical sterilization step against polyethylene's temperature limits before use. What material are the caps made from? They are molded from polyethylene, a flexible plastic that provides a friction-fit closure and tolerates standard refrigerated and ambient storage. Polyethylene is not recommended for autoclave cycles at elevated temperatures. How many caps come in a case? Prices are per case of 1000 caps. The 12 mm case is $36.70, 13 mm is $37.00, and 16 mm is $51.20. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Globe Scientific Flange Plug Caps, Red Polyethylene, 12/13/16 mm", "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "Globe Scientific" }, "description": "Red polyethylene flange plug caps for 12, 13, and 16 mm test tubes.
