Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Polystyrene (PS) Screw Top Tubes

Common installation or setup challenges when using Polystyrene (PS) Screw Top Tubes may include:

  1. Cross-threading: Improper threading of the cap onto the tube can result in cross-threading, which can damage the threads, making it difficult to open or close the tube.

  2. Leaks: Inconsistent threading or damage to the sealing component of the cap can lead to leaks, compromising the integrity of the sample contained in the tube.

  3. Over-tightening: Applying excessive force when tightening the cap can lead to deformation of the threads or the cap itself, making it challenging to open the tube later.

  4. Contamination: Improper handling or storage of the tubes can result in contamination of the samples due to exposure to external elements or improper sealing of the tubes.

  5. Compatibility issues: Incompatibility between the tubes and the cap can lead to difficulties in securing a proper seal, resulting in potential sample loss or contamination.

To address these challenges, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommended guidelines for proper installation and use of PS screw top tubes, ensure correct handling and storage practices, and regularly inspect the tubes for any signs of wear or damage.
