GitHub link
Overview
This is the cap that is currently given by default from FynchBio as of 25/01/15.
Requires needles, so cannot have a full seal on the vial. Therefore, should be used with caution because of overflow risk.
Assembly
Must be assembled with needles at correct heights before each run.
