Abstract (en)
An integral assembly (10) of a multiplicity of spaced reagent tubes (12) arranged in an aligned series wherein the tubes are integrally linked to one another by connecting portions (18) and to a corresponding multiplicity of independently spaced seal caps (20) by a multiplicity of bands (30), each band having one end integral with a seal cap and an opposite end integrally connected to two adjacent tubes. The bands extend perpendicularly to the series of aligned tubes and include an oblique hinge portion which is deformable so as to allow the cap to be independently manipulatable to pivot angularly and to superimpose the open end (16) of a tube for sealing. <IMAGE>
