Labbox Red PE Test Tube Stopper for Ø12 mm test tubes
The Ø12mm red polyethylene test tube stopper from Astiks is a flange type test tube stopper for sealing 12mm plastic test tubes whilst providing clear visual identification. This red polyethylene test tube stopper helps you colour code tubes by hazard class, project or sample type in busy laboratory environments.
Made from polyethylene, the stopper offers good chemical resistance and impact tolerance for routine bench work. The flanged profile supports a firm push fit into compatible tubes, whilst the broad rim makes it easy to grip with gloved hands. The bright red colour is ideal for highlighting priority samples, control tubes or particular workflows. Designed to fit Astiks TUPP and TUPS 12mm plastic test tubes, these stoppers support consistent closure and organisation across racks and storage boxes. Fit with other 12mm diameter test tubes must be tested before use.
