They are also useful for other clinical and microbiological tests. Screw caps resist the effects of temperature and steam. The 50mL tube has a black phenolic cap with a glued-in, white rubber liner. The 100mL tube has a white polypropylene cap with a PTFE liner. For phenolic cap for 50mL tube see CG-8752.
