Hey man, then it's all good! Honestly whether it's fake or not it doesn't matter, it serves the same purpose! I was just lookin out for your $$, I know when I make a substantial purchase, I want the best bang for my buck. and "LT" is actually short for aqua lab tech, search it in google and check out their site. GC blocks the name, so I can't write it all out. It's a good reference site for medical pieces; whenever I've bought a scientific tube I always price check on @LT so I know how much I could convince a LHS to sell it for. Enjoy
