L800-E Identi-Plugs, 46 mm – 65 mm Openings (Pack of 50)

Description

Product Overview

The L800-E Identi-Plugs are engineered by Thomas Scientific to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments. Constructed from high‑grade, chemically resistant polymer, each plug offers a perfect seal for a variety of containers, including vials, tubes, and flasks. The flexible design accommodates openings ranging from 46 mm to 65 mm, ensuring compatibility with a broad spectrum of standard labware. Each pack contains 50 plugs, providing ample supply for routine experiments, large‑scale studies, and inventory stocking.

These plugs are designed with a spring‑back mechanism that allows them to return to their original shape after repeated insertion and removal, reducing the need for frequent replacement and minimizing waste. The material maintains its integrity across a wide temperature range, from sub‑zero storage conditions to elevated incubator settings, making them suitable for both cold‑chain applications and high‑temperature protocols. The surface finish is smooth and non‑abrasive, preventing damage to delicate glass or plastic vessels while ensuring a tight, leak‑free seal.

Manufactured under strict quality control standards, the L800-E Identi-Plugs meet the expectations of research institutions, biotech firms, and industrial laboratories alike. The product is certified free from contaminants that could interfere with sensitive assays, and it complies with common laboratory safety regulations. With a best‑seller rank indicating strong market acceptance, these plugs have earned a reputation for reliability and consistency among scientists worldwide.

Usage

In biological research, the L800-E Identi-Plugs are frequently employed to seal drosophila vials, providing a secure environment for fruit fly cultures while allowing easy access for feeding and observation. Their adaptable size range makes them equally effective for sealing standard 15 ml and 50 ml conical tubes, ensuring that samples remain uncontaminated during storage or transport.

Beyond organism culture, these plugs serve as an excellent cleaning tool for laboratory pipettes, tubes, and precision tubing. The flexible material can be gently pressed into narrow passages to dislodge residues, then removed without leaving any trace of the plug itself. This dual functionality reduces the need for separate cleaning accessories, streamlining workflow and conserving bench space.

Industrial applications benefit from the plugs’ resistance to a broad temperature spectrum, allowing them to be used in processes that involve heating or cooling of fluids. Whether employed in algae culturing systems, chemical synthesis reactors, or quality‑control sampling stations, the plugs maintain a consistent seal, preventing leaks and preserving sample integrity.

For educational laboratories, the ease of use and durability of the L800-E Identi-Plugs make them an ideal teaching aid. Students can quickly learn proper sealing techniques without the risk of breakage, fostering confidence and encouraging hands‑on experimentation. The pack of 50 ensures that classrooms have sufficient supplies for multiple sessions and group activities.
