Laboratory Applications
Snap caps secure samples in 13mm tube formats throughout clinical chemistry, hematology, and general research. Labs use them to cover evacuated blood collection tubes, glass culture tubes, and plastic test tubes during transport, centrifugation prep, and short-term storage. Quick application speeds throughput when staff process large batches.
Color-coded green caps help organize panels by assay, patient group, or workflow stage. Teaching labs and core facilities rely on standardized closures to reduce errors and keep racks visually consistent. Flexible PE construction allows caps to fit snugly across the supported tube diameters.
