Product Description
Cork to Fit Test Tube is a conical sealing component made from natural or synthetic cork, designed specifically to fit snugly into standard laboratory test tubes. It ensures a tight seal that prevents contamination, limits evaporation, and maintains sample integrity during storage or handling. Due to its compressible and chemically resistant structure, it is ideal for routine laboratory operations and industrial testing processes. These corks are available in various sizes to accommodate a wide range of test tube diameters and are compatible with both glass and plastic tubes.
