Premium Flanged Plug Cap Tube Closures for 13mm Blood Drawing Tubes - High-Quality Polyethylene, Multiple Colors

Professional-Grade Non-Sterile Tube Closures for Secure Blood Sample Storage and Transport

Ensure the integrity and safety of your blood samples with these premium-quality flanged plug cap tube closures, expertly engineered for use with standard 13mm blood drawing tubes. These professional-grade laboratory closures are manufactured from high-quality polyethylene material to deliver exceptional durability, reliable sealing performance, and consistent quality across clinical laboratories, phlebotomy centers, diagnostic facilities, and healthcare institutions.

Precision-Engineered Flanged Plug Cap Design

The standout feature of these tube closures is the innovative flanged plug cap design, which provides multiple critical advantages over standard closure systems. The integrated flange creates a secure gripping surface that facilitates easy application and removal, even when wearing gloves or working in fast-paced laboratory environments. This thoughtful design element significantly improves handling efficiency and reduces the risk of fumbling or dropping closures during critical sample processing procedures.

The plug cap configuration creates a tight, secure seal that effectively prevents leakage, evaporation, and contamination of valuable blood samples during storage, handling, and transportation. The precision-molded design ensures consistent fit and sealing performance across all tubes, eliminating concerns about loose or improperly sealed samples that could compromise test results or create safety hazards in the laboratory environment.

Superior Leak Prevention and Contamination Control

These flanged plug caps are specifically engineered to create an airtight seal that protects blood samples from external contamination while preventing any leakage or spillage of sample contents. This dual-protection approach is essential for maintaining sample integrity throughout the entire testing workflow, from initial collection through processing, storage, and final analysis.

The secure sealing mechanism prevents exposure to airborne contaminants, dust, bacteria, and other environmental factors that could compromise sample quality or test accuracy. Simultaneously, the leak-proof design protects laboratory personnel and work surfaces from exposure to potentially infectious materials, supporting comprehensive biosafety protocols and reducing the risk of occupational exposure incidents.

High-Quality Polyethylene Construction for Lasting Performance

Manufactured from premium-grade polyethylene material, these tube closures deliver exceptional durability and reliability that healthcare professionals can depend on for critical laboratory applications. Polyethylene is specifically selected for its unique combination of beneficial properties that make it ideal for laboratory use.

The material exhibits excellent chemical resistance, remaining stable and maintaining its sealing properties even when exposed to the various additives, anticoagulants, and preservatives commonly found in blood collection tubes. This chemical stability ensures that the closure will not degrade, crack, or lose its sealing effectiveness over time, providing consistent performance throughout the sample's lifecycle.

Additionally, polyethylene's inherent flexibility allows the closure to conform perfectly to the tube opening, creating a secure seal while remaining easy to apply and remove. The material maintains its physical properties across a wide temperature range, making these closures suitable for samples requiring refrigeration or freezing for extended storage periods.

Precision-Sized for Perfect 13mm Compatibility

These tube closures are specifically designed and manufactured to fit standard 13mm blood drawing tubes with precision accuracy. The exact dimensional specifications ensure a perfect fit every time, eliminating the frustration and safety concerns associated with ill-fitting closures that may be too loose or too tight.

The standardized 13mm sizing makes these closures compatible with blood collection tubes from major manufacturers, providing versatility and convenience for laboratories that may use tubes from multiple suppliers. This universal compatibility streamlines inventory management and ensures you always have the right closure on hand for your blood collection tubes.

Non-Sterile Design for Cost-Effective Laboratory Use

These tube closures are manufactured as non-sterile products, making them ideal for use in standard laboratory environments where sterility is not required for the closure itself. This non-sterile designation allows for more economical pricing while maintaining the quality, durability, and sealing performance required for reliable blood sample management.

The non-sterile classification is appropriate for use with blood collection tubes that are sealed after collection, as the closure is applied after the sample has been obtained and the tube has been filled. This approach provides cost-effective sample security without compromising safety or sample integrity in typical laboratory workflows.

Convenient Color-Coding System for Enhanced Organization

Available in multiple vibrant colors including yellow, natural (clear), red, white, black, lavender, green, orange, and blue, these tube closures support comprehensive color-coding systems that enhance laboratory organization and workflow efficiency. The variety of color options allows laboratories to implement customized organizational schemes based on test type, sample priority, processing status, patient category, or any other classification system that supports their specific operational needs.

Color-coding significantly reduces the risk of sample mix-ups, processing errors, and misidentification incidents by providing instant visual differentiation between different sample categories. This visual organization system is particularly valuable in high-volume laboratories where hundreds or thousands of samples may be processed daily, helping to maintain accuracy and efficiency even during peak workload periods.

Easy Application and Removal for Streamlined Workflow

The flanged design and precision engineering make these tube closures exceptionally easy to apply and remove, streamlining laboratory workflows and reducing the time required for sample processing tasks. The flange provides a secure gripping surface that allows laboratory personnel to quickly and confidently apply closures to tubes with a simple pressing motion, while removal is equally straightforward with a gentle pulling action on the flange.

This ease of use is particularly important in busy phlebotomy and laboratory environments where efficiency directly impacts throughput and patient service. The user-friendly design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive closure application tasks and minimizes the risk of repetitive strain injuries among laboratory staff who handle large volumes of samples daily.

Versatile Applications Across Laboratory Settings

These professional-grade tube closures are suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications and healthcare environments, including clinical diagnostic laboratories, hospital phlebotomy departments, reference laboratories, research facilities, blood banks and transfusion services, physician office laboratories, mobile phlebotomy services, and veterinary diagnostic laboratories.
