Product Description
Samples headed for the freezer or the mail need a closure that will not pop open or seep. These Heathrow Scientific 2 mL screw top microcentrifuge tubes use a threaded cap with an O-ring to create a tight seal, protecting contents from leaks and contamination during storage, spinning and transport.
