Selected answer:fixed cap
Explanation:
In the web reference I linked, you can see new type and old type tube caps. The new type are 'fixed' because we can put the samples without opening the cap (strictly speaking, they are not fixed. we can open them up with force). The old ones should be opened before putting the samples. Hope it will help.
