Globe Scientific Yellow Snap Caps (12/13mm PE) Overview
Globe Scientific Snap Caps (SKU 113142Y) are polyethylene closures sized for 12/13mm vacuum and test tubes. Each cap pushes onto the tube rim and snaps into place, giving technicians a fast, tool-free seal during sample handling. Yellow coloring supports visual coding across racks and workflows.
Made from polyethylene (PE), these caps suit routine clinical, research, and diagnostic settings where disposable closures keep contents covered between steps. The 12/13mm fit matches standard small-bore tubes used across many sample-collection and storage tasks.
Bagged in quantities of 1000, this configuration is built for labs that consume closures at volume. Color selection helps separate assays, departments, or patient groups at a glance, reducing mix-ups during high-throughput processing.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close small-bore tubes during sample collection, transport, and short-term storage. Technicians rely on them to limit evaporation and contact contamination between processing steps. Yellow units let teams build color-coded systems that flag specific assays, shifts, or specimen categories without extra labeling.
Clinical labs, research groups, and diagnostic facilities use 12/13mm closures across phlebotomy and bench workflows. Disposable PE caps fit single-use protocols where reusing a closure is not appropriate. High-volume bagging supports busy environments that turn over consumables daily.
