13mm Snap Cap (Clear PE) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap is a clear polyethylene closure built to seal 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Its press-on snap design lets technicians cap and uncap quickly during high-throughput sample handling without threading or screwing.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), each cap provides a secure friction fit across the listed tube formats. Clarity helps staff visually confirm sample presence and color through the closure, supporting faster inspection at the bench. Single-use convenience reduces cross-contamination risk between batches.
Packaged in bags of 1,000 under SKU 113143C, this cap suits clinical, research, and teaching labs that process tubes in volume. Standardizing on one closure size simplifies inventory and keeps cap supply aligned with common 12mm and 13mm tube workflows.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close blood collection and sample tubes in clinical and diagnostic settings, where rapid one-hand application keeps sample lines moving. Research labs use them to cover aliquot and storage tubes during short-term holding and transport between stations. The clear PE body lets staff read fill levels and sample color without removing the closure.
Teaching and QC environments rely on consistent cap sizing to match standard 12mm and 13mm tube racks. Friction-fit closures protect specimens from spills and airborne contamination during centrifugation prep and bench handling. Bulk bagging supports labs that cap thousands of tubes per shift.
