13mm Gray PE Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (SKU 113143A) is a polyethylene closure engineered to fit 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Its gray color aids visual sorting across busy bench workflows and color-coded sample tracking systems.
Snap-fit design seats firmly onto compatible tube rims, helping contain contents during transport, storage, and routine handling. Each cap is molded from polyethylene, a chemically stable material suited to general laboratory use.
Packaged in bags of 1000, these caps support high-throughput labs that consume closures in volume. Procurement teams ordering for clinical, research, or teaching facilities can standardize on a single compatible cap across multiple tube formats.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps secure tube contents across sample collection, aliquoting, and short-term storage tasks. Clinical labs use closures like these on evacuated blood collection tubes and secondary aliquot tubes, while research groups apply them to glass and plastic culture or reagent tubes within compatible diameters.
Gray closures support color-based organization when teams separate sample types, patient batches, or workflow stages. Teaching labs benefit from a single cap that fits several common tube formats, reducing inventory complexity and simplifying restocking.
