13mm Green Snap Caps Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113140G) is a polyethylene closure designed to fit 13mm vacuum tubes and standard test tubes. Each cap snaps firmly onto the tube rim, giving technicians a quick, tool-free seal for sample storage, transport, and short-term containment.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), these caps deliver flexible, repeatable closure across high-throughput workflows. Green coloring supports rapid visual sorting on the bench, letting staff distinguish sample sets, departments, or protocols at a glance without added labeling steps.
Packaged in bags of 1000, this SKU suits clinical, research, and teaching labs that consume tube closures in volume. Bulk case quantities reduce reorder frequency and keep consumable stock predictable for procurement teams managing recurring supply lines.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps seal 13mm tubes during sample collection, centrifugation prep, and refrigerated storage. Phlebotomy stations, microbiology benches, and chemistry labs rely on quick-fit closures to limit evaporation and contamination between processing steps. Color coding with green caps helps teams segregate batches across shared instrument runs.
Teaching labs and high-volume diagnostic facilities use these caps as everyday consumables. Reliable snap-on closure speeds rack handling and transport, while the polyethylene body keeps each cap lightweight and disposable for single-protocol use where reuse is not appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tube sizes fit these snap caps?
These caps are sized for 13mm vacuum tubes and test tubes. Confirm your tube outer diameter against the 13mm specification before ordering to ensure a secure snap fit.
How are the caps packaged?
Each unit is a bag of 1000 caps. A full master case contains 6000 caps across 6 bags, which suits labs that reorder closures on a regular schedule.
Why choose green-colored caps?
Green coloring lets staff visually separate sample groups, departments, or protocols at the bench. Color coding reduces mix-ups during rack handling without requiring extra labels on every tube.
