Large culture tube lids
    #14177912 - 03/24/11 07:10 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I recently purchased a dozen 38X200mm culture tubes for a decent price, only catch is they don't have any lids and will not accommodate screw on lids. Had they come with lids this would have been a perfect deal since the tubes are so (comparatively) cheap and should be able to store cultures for many years due to the size of the tube.

I don't know what to do, I can't find anywhere that sells the lids by themselves and even if I could would it be worth it since they wouldn't be screw on? I might just return the tubes but that would mean paying shipping and handling(again). What should I do?

I've received culture slants with plastic wrap instead of lids, seems work just as well, :shrug:

Buy KIM KAP Closures they are great for what you are going to use them for.  It is what Aloha uses for there cultures.

Sorry to bring this back up CH, those caps are pretty expensive. I tried earlier to get a second opinion on the significance of these large culture tubes as I had read in one of RRs old posts that they would keep strains viable for many years.

If they are worth it, since I already put $60 into this, perhaps I could post in the market place giving the link to the cheap 38X200mm culture tubes on ebay and agree to send whomever buys them the caps they need to go with it for a small cost and shipping to make buying these worth it to me.

LOL,  I never said they where cheap but that is the cheapest place I know to buy them.

Stick with standard culture tubes they are cheaper and your cultures will last just as long(if not longer).  You will use half the agar as a large tube and with culture tube you don't want a ton of space in them.

Good luck,  I am just trying to help.

Vacutainers are too small 16-17mm atmost,  18-25mm will make the best slants.  If you find tubes in that range(18-25mm) that don't have caps pm me and I can hook you up.  If you want a quick slant vacutainers work,  if you want simple long term store find something better.
