13mm Snap Cap, Clear PE Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (SKU 113140C) is a clear polyethylene closure designed to fit 13mm vacuum tubes and standard test tubes. Its press-fit design seats firmly onto tube rims, helping contain samples during handling, transport, and short-term storage.
Molded from polyethylene, this cap offers chemical resistance suited to routine specimen and reagent work. Clear material lets technicians confirm fill levels and sample condition without uncapping. Snap engagement supports fast capping in high-throughput collection and processing environments.
Each cap arrives ready to use, packaged for clinical, diagnostic, and general laboratory settings. Bulk bag packaging keeps per-unit cost low while supporting consistent supply for repetitive workflows.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps in this class secure 13mm tubes across blood collection, urinalysis, and general specimen handling. Clinical and diagnostic labs use them to close vacuum tubes after draw, reducing spill risk during centrifugation prep and rack transport between stations.
Research and education settings rely on press-fit closures for reagent aliquots, sample banking, and routine assay setup. Clear polyethylene lets staff inspect contents at a glance, while quick snap action speeds repetitive capping in batch processing.
