13mm Yellow Snap Cap (113140Y) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Yellow Snap Cap (113140Y) secures 13mm vacuum and test tubes with a quick press-on closure. Molded from polyethylene, each cap delivers a consistent friction fit that helps contain liquids and reduce splash during routine handling. Bright yellow coloring supports fast visual sorting and sample coding across busy benches.
Designed for the standard 13mm tube format, this cap suits clinical, research, and educational settings where tubes need temporary covering between processing steps. Snap-on operation means technicians close samples without tools, threading, or extra time. High-volume packaging keeps inventory ready for daily throughput.
LabSupplies.com stocks the 113140Y as an authorized Globe Scientific reseller, supplying labs that standardize on color-coded closures. Procurement teams can order single bags or full master cases to match consumption rates.

Laboratory Applications
Clinical and diagnostic labs use 13mm snap caps to cover blood collection and test tubes between draw, transport, and analysis. Yellow coding lets staff group samples by assay, department, or priority at a glance, cutting handling errors during multi-step workflows. Caps press on quickly, keeping turnaround tight on high-volume runs.
Research and teaching facilities apply these closures when temporarily sealing reagents, aliquots, or specimens in standard tubes. Polyethylene construction suits general aqueous and biological samples common to routine bench work. Color sorting also aids inventory checks and rack organization across shared lab spaces.
