Getting Lids Off Slant Tube
    #23189517 - 05/04/16 05:51 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I'd like to start making slants to preserve my favorite cultures and to cut down on the time required from starting from prints.

I recently purchased these inexpensive polypropylene 17x100mm 15mL test tubes:



My concern is the caps. They are very difficult to uncap once they have been pushed in the tube. I'm worried that I'll be more contam prone in the SAB trying to pry the cap off.



They're also very flimsy, so I could see a lot of pressure warping the cap, especially if warm.

They were cheap enough that if the easiest answer is "buy new caps" I won't be disappointed, however, I wanted to see if anyone has used tubes like this for slants and if you have any helpful tips.

Thanks.

I dont think anyone could tell you what to do, its just gunna take practice until you sort out a way to do it

Next time you buy slants go for glass tubes with screw on caps.
