13mm Gray Snap Cap (113140A) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113140A) is a gray polyethylene closure engineered for vacuum tubes and standard test tubes with a 13mm opening. Each cap snaps into place to secure samples during handling, storage, and short-distance transport. Polyethylene construction keeps these closures lightweight while resisting many common laboratory reagents.
Color-coded gray, this cap helps technicians sort tube racks by sample type or processing stage at a glance. Bulk bag packaging supports high-throughput labs that consume closures in volume across phlebotomy, clinical, and research workflows.
Packaged 1,000 caps per bag, with six bags forming a master case of 6,000, the 113140A suits both single-bench restocking and centralized procurement. LabSupplies.com supplies this Globe Scientific item directly to clinical, hospital, and academic accounts.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps seal 13mm vacuum and test tubes throughout specimen collection, centrifugation prep, and refrigerated storage. Phlebotomy stations and clinical chemistry benches rely on these closures to limit spills and reduce evaporation between processing steps. Gray coloring lets staff label or segregate samples without adhesive markers.
Research and teaching labs use 13mm closures for aliquoting, sample archiving, and routine reagent storage in compatible tubes. Quick snap-on application speeds batch handling, while removable design allows repeated access during assay workflows. Choose caps validated for your specific tube and reagent set.
