CT_ Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Has anyone found a better cap for the API test tubes? There's a lot of capping and uncapping for the two part and titration tests that it actually starts to hurt my fingers. Frankly I'd take a cap that doesn't even hold itself on and just pinch the cap down when shaking over how tight these are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 honestly, when I am testing, I was my hands off good with just warm water, no soap, and use a finger over the end to invert and shake. I be sure to use a different finger for each test or wash my hands between tests. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus1833 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 There are some 3rd party test tubes which have twist-on caps, which I rather like. Just do a quick search for em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to these; Cap, Snap, 13mm, PE, for 13mm Glass and Evacuated Tubes and 12mm Plastic Test Tubes, Red, Bag of 1000 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B086WQDP7N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2ZWMKWR19G1R55JBTW1Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yes, my thumb. Wear a glove if you have a sensitivity to the chems, rinse thoroughly or new glove when changing tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'd think something like these would do the trick and be easier to remove. A local hardware store may sell them individually instead of buying a whole pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
