16mm Snap Cap (113141C) Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Snap Cap (113141C) is a clear polyethylene closure engineered to fit standard 16mm vacuum and test tubes. Its push-on snap design seats firmly over the tube rim, giving technicians a fast, tool-free seal during routine handling, transport, and short-term storage of samples.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), each cap offers a flexible fit that snaps into place and releases cleanly. Clear material lets staff confirm tube contents and labeling without removing the cap, supporting visual checks across busy benchtops and racks.
Packaged in bags of 1000, this cap suits high-throughput laboratories that close large batches of tubes daily. Procurement teams can order single bags or full master cases to align stock levels with sample volumes.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close 16mm tubes used across clinical, research, and quality-control workflows. Labs reach for these closures when capping blood collection tubes, reaction tubes, and general sample tubes that need a quick, secure barrier against spills and airborne contamination during handling.
Clear PE construction supports specimen tracking in phlebotomy, microbiology, and chemistry settings where staff verify contents at a glance. Technicians also use snap caps for short-term storage and rack-based transport, where consistent fit keeps tubes sealed between processing steps.
