ScrewSeal screw cap microtube family

Screw-Cap Security for Samples That Can't Leak

When a snap cap isn't enough, whether you're freezing to −90 °C, boiling, autoclaving, or shipping samples across the country, ScrewSeal™ screw-cap microtubes lock your sample in. Every tube comes with an assembled cap and a silicone O-ring that holds a leak-proof seal across the full −90 °C to +121 °C range.

Molded from ultra-clear polypropylene, ScrewSeal™ tubes let you see pellets and volumes at a glance. They arrive sterile and certified RNase-, DNase-, and pyrogen-free, ready for molecular, clinical, and pharmaceutical work.

Why Labs Choose ScrewSeal™

Silicone O-Ring Seal
A positive, leak-proof seal time after time, even through freeze-thaw cycles.

Ultra-Clear Polypropylene
Easy sample and pellet visualization.

Loop-Cap Option
C3150-SL loop caps are easy to grip with gloves and can be tethered or labeled.

Self-Standing 2.0 mL
Skirted bottoms stand upright on the bench, no rack required.

Molded Graduations
2.0 mL formats have permanent molded graduations that won't rub off.

Individually Wrapped
C2231-W wraps each tube for single-use sterility in clinical and field work.

ScrewSeal amber light-blocking microtubes

Light-Blocking Amber for Sensitive Samples

Light degrades more samples than most labs realize: fluorophores, vitamins, photosensitive drugs, and many reagents. The C2230-AM amber tube and cap block light while keeping the same O-ring seal and self-standing design.

Use amber for photosensitive compounds, fluorescent probes, and any sample stored outside a dark freezer.

For everyday snap-cap work, the SureSeal S™ Sterile Microcentrifuge Tubes are the value choice.

Typical Applications

  • Long-term −80 °C sample storage
  • Boiling and heat-block incubation
  • Autoclaving buffers and media aliquots
  • Sample transport and shipping
  • Clinical and diagnostic specimen storage
  • Light-sensitive reagent storage (amber)

Tip for Leak-Free Freezing

Tighten caps firmly but don't over-torque. The O-ring does the sealing. Let samples reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation getting pulled inside.

*Centrifugation rating refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions, and adapters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ScrewSeal™ tubes a good alternative to Sarstedt screw cap micro tubes?

For most freezing, boiling, and transport applications, yes. ScrewSeal™ tubes are sterile with assembled silicone O-ring caps, seal from −90 °C to +121 °C, and include amber and individually wrapped options. Confirm fit in your specific racks and rotor. Sarstedt is a trademark of its respective owner; Blue Tiger Scientific is not affiliated.

What temperature range can ScrewSeal™ tubes seal across?

The silicone O-ring provides a leak-proof seal from −90 °C to +121 °C.

How fast can ScrewSeal™ tubes be centrifuged?

Up to 22,000 × g for liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions, and adapters.

Is there a light-blocking option?

Yes. The C2230-AM is a 2.0 mL self-standing tube with an amber tube and cap for light-sensitive samples.

Are the caps already on the tubes?

Yes. All ScrewSeal™ tubes come with caps assembled and are sterile, RNase-, DNase-, and pyrogen-free.

Are individually wrapped tubes available?

Yes. The C2231-W 2.0 mL tube is individually wrapped for single-use sterility, 500 per case.
