Description
The BD® 408531 is a precision-engineered sterile cap adapter designed to provide a secure, leak-proof seal for male Luer-Lok® fittings in non-human research and engineering environments. These female-threaded caps are primarily used to block off stopcocks, seal syringe tips, or close roentgenography and infusion tubing during fluidic assembly. Engineered for high-integrity closure, these adapters prevent environmental contamination and fluid loss, making them essential for maintaining sterile fluid pathways in benchtop R&D and non-clinical mechanical testing.
Technical Performance and Design
-
Universal Luer-Lok Compatibility: Specifically developed for use with all standard BD syringes and fluidic components featuring Luer-Lok tips, ensuring a standardized, reliable fit.
-
High-Integrity Sealing: The internal female threading allows for a positive “lock” onto male ports, providing a vacuum-tight seal that resists accidental detachment under pressure.
-
Contamination Control: Designed to block myelography needles and close off unused stopcock ports, protecting sensitive fluid pathways from particulates and microbial ingress.
-
Sterile Single-Use Format: Each adapter is supplied sterile and intended for single-use applications to ensure the highest level of sample purity in non-clinical laboratory protocols.
