Globe Scientific Snap Cap, 12/13mm Overview
The Globe Scientific Snap Cap, 12/13mm, Gray PE (SKU 113142A) provides a secure closure for standard vacuum and test tubes used across clinical and research settings. Molded from polyethylene, this gray cap snaps onto tubes with a 12mm to 13mm opening diameter. Each bag holds 1,000 caps, supporting high-throughput labs that consume closures in volume.
Color coding helps technicians organize samples by type, collection point, or workflow stage. Gray caps let teams differentiate racks at a glance and reduce mix-ups during processing. Polyethylene resists cracking and offers reliable retention on compatible tubes.
Designed for repeatable performance, these caps suit facilities that standardize on 12/13mm tube formats. Procurement teams can stock by the bag or scale to the master case for inventory planning.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps seal collection and storage tubes during sample transport, centrifugation prep, and short-term storage. Clinical laboratories rely on consistent closures to limit evaporation and contamination while specimens move between stations. Gray coloring supports visual sorting protocols where teams assign hues to distinct sample categories.
Research and diagnostic groups working with 12/13mm tubes use these polyethylene caps to standardize handling across batches. Reliable retention matters when racks shift during loading or relocation. Teams that process large specimen volumes benefit from the high bag count, which keeps benches stocked between reorders.
