Microppose Silicone Injection Port

This Microppose Silicone Injection Port allows a needle to pass through culture containers, grain jars and liquid cultures, while self healing.

The strong 3M adhesive can withstand autoclave temperatures in excess of 250F at 15psi for extended periods when kept covered and dry during sterilization. The overall diameter of the port is 20mm, perfect for 1/8″-1/4″ jar lid injection holes. This product can be stuck to clean hard surfaces, including standard metal jar lids and plastic jar lids. Not intended for soft materials, like poly bags.

When applying these injection ports, make sure that the surface of the lid is smooth, clean and that the lid hole is not excessively large, preventing adequate adhesive from making contact with the lid. If the lid hole is too large for the injection ports, they may not operate as intended. For best results, apply the injection port accurately so that it is in the center most position over the lid hole. The Ball brand black plastic lids are not smooth, since they feature recessed lettering molded into the plastic. The uneven surface may affect the performance of the adhesive during sterilization runs. Opt for smooth lids.
