Combined Screw-Cap and Rubber-Stopper Closure for Hungate Tubes (Pre-reduced Anaerobically Sterilized Roll Tubes and Liquid Media)

RESUMO
A double-closured method introduced for Hungate tubes eliminates clamps or special racks to hold the rubber stoppers in place while the tubes are being processed. The system prevents stoppers from being dislodged by gas-producing anaerobes and keeps the stoppers sterile so that the closed system of transfer can be conveniently utilized. Open and closed systems for handling a gas-producing anaerobe were compared. Ten tubes containing Clostridium perfringens were opened; the organism was detected in the air by use of an impingement collector. The gloved hand of the operator also revealed the test organism. A similar trial with culture material removed by the closed system (syringe transfer) resulted in no detectable contamination of the environment.
