Globe Scientific Snap Cap (113142C) Overview
The Globe Scientific Snap Cap 113142C is a clear polyethylene closure sized to fit 12/13mm vacuum and test tubes. Designed for a secure push-on seal, this cap helps contain samples during handling, storage, and transport across routine laboratory workflows.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), each cap delivers a snap-fit that seats firmly on standard 12/13mm tube openings. Clear material lets technicians confirm tube contents and labeling without removing the closure, supporting faster sample identification on the bench.
Supplied in bags of 1000, this SKU suits high-throughput facilities that consume caps in volume. Procurement teams can standardize on a single closure for compatible tube formats, simplifying reorders and inventory tracking.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps seal blood collection vacuum tubes and general test tubes in clinical, diagnostic, and research settings. Labs use them to close specimens after draw or aliquoting, reducing evaporation and spill risk while samples wait for processing or centrifugation.
Clear closures aid visual workflows where technicians scan racks of tubes during sorting and batch testing. Push-on design speeds repetitive capping tasks in high-volume labs, and the polyethylene construction supports single-use protocols that reduce cross-contamination concerns.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
Each unit ships as a bag of 1000 caps, with a master case holding 10 bags for 10,000 caps total. Facilities that standardize on the 113142C closure can order full cases to lower per-unit cost and minimize reorder frequency.
