SpectraPor® Closures are designed with tight-gripping seal ridges that provide a reliable leak-proof seal for thin-walled and more flexible dialysis tubing. These closures should be used only with RC and low MWCO (=< 20 kD) CE dialysis tubing.  For best results, select a pair of closures that has a sealing width 4 to 10 mm longer than the flat width of the dialysis tubing to ensure a proper seal.

Made from polypropylene (PP) material, the compatibility of SpectraPor® Closures with specific solvents should be confirmed on the Repligen Chemical Compatibility table.

SpectraPor® Closures are available in three functional types for improved dialysis efficiency: Standard, Weighted and Magnetic.

Standard Type Closure

SpectraPor® Standard Closures float and aid in sample buoyancy when applied to the top-end of the dialysis tubing; autoclavable and available in a variety of colors for easy sample identification.
