When to Pick the C1005-SC5
Pick the C1005-SC5 when:
- Workflow uses 5 mL screw-cap tubes but does not require sterility
- Cap-format flexibility — operator may use included caps or substitute alternate cap formats
- Bulk 500-tube procurement — moderate facility throughput
- Cost-optimized non-sterile screw-cap procurement
Step to C1005-SC5-S for sterile workflows; step to C1005-SC5-OB for opaque-black light-sensitive workflows.
