The caps come in a range of 8 mm and 9 mm screw thread, as well as 11 mm snap cap options, with options for a variety of applications and according to the company, can be used in conjunction with any given autosampler.

Michele Slade, the company’s global product manager for vials and closures commented, “Supporting cancer research is an important global cause.
