Vial Cap Upgrades

As of 25/01/15, FynchBio gives the cap that only accommodates needles. This cap does not have a tight seal on the vial and thus does not enable emergency efflux.

Benefits / Options

  1. Better seal to vial - enables emergency efflux (see below) away from vial if too much is pumped in

  2. More ports available

  3. Reusable connectors - can use luer connectors to connect to eVOLVER tubing

See for more information and construction protocols.

Emergency Efflux

Protect your eVOLVER hardware with a sealed vial and additional efflux line dedicated to preventing vial overflows.

Guide .

Bubbling

Many organisms require additional gas exchange outside of what eVOLVER stirring can provide. Others require custom gas mixes for growth. In-vial bubblers provide this.
