Eppendorf 500SST CAP(D) ASSY 5721411347

The Eppendorf 500SST CAP(D) ASSY (catalog-style name) is a cap assembly intended for use with Eppendorf 500SST centrifuge tubes/bottles (the 500 mL stainless‑steel tube/bottle family). According to Eppendorf product descriptions for their tubes and bottles, these types of caps are used to securely close large-volume centrifuge vessels for high‑speed and ultracentrifugation workflows and—when specified for fixed‑angle rotor use—provide added resistance to g‑forces. Typical use cases are sealing 500 mL stainless‑steel centrifuge tubes for cell culture, sample preparation and high‑speed separations where a reliable seal and mechanical stability are required.

Key Features:

• Intended for Eppendorf 500SST series (500 mL stainless‑steel) centrifuge tubes/bottles.
• Cap style: screw‑style / special cap design (Eppendorf notes screw‑style caps for bottles and 'special caps' for fixed‑angle rotor use).
• Application: designed for high‑speed / ultracentrifugation and use in fixed‑angle rotors where added g‑force resistance is required.
• Function: provides a secure closure to reduce spills and help maintain an aerosol‑tight seal (caps for 500 mL buckets are described as aerosol‑tight by authorized distributors).

Advantages:

• Improves mechanical stability of 500 mL SST tubes during high g‑force runs by using a cap design specified for fixed‑angle rotor applications.
• Provides a reliable, screw‑style closure that is easy to open and close while helping prevent spills and aerosol escape.
• Compatible with the 500SST stainless‑steel system, supporting durable reuse in demanding centrifugation workflows.
