The Biosilico and Silicosen caps made from silicone are an excellent alternative to single use caps made from cellulose wadding. These reusable caps are made from silicone and can be easily sterilised in an autoclave or by heat sterilisation. These caps can be used for around 10000 hours and tolerate around 3000 autoclavings.
• Porous structure based on the principle of a swan neck
• Permeability to air equivalent to cellulose wadding
• No influence on the pH
• Can be used in dry air up to 200 °C
• No proliferation of micro-organisms possible on or in the cap
• Excellent chemical and heat resistance
