Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113143R) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Red Snap Cap (113143R) is a polyethylene closure built to seal 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Its snap-on design speeds capping in high-volume workflows while the red color supports fast visual sorting and sample identification.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), each cap delivers a flexible, repeatable fit across compatible tube formats. Labs running phlebotomy lines, sample archiving, or general specimen handling benefit from a single closure that covers multiple common tube diameters.
Packaged in bags of 1,000 and master cases of 10,000, this cap suits routine reorder cycles for clinical, research, and industrial labs. Standardizing on one closure size reduces inventory complexity and keeps benches stocked.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps seal specimen tubes during collection, transport, and short-term storage. Phlebotomy and clinical chemistry teams use them to close evacuated and glass tubes after draws, while research labs cap plastic test tubes holding aliquots, reagents, or processed samples. Red coloring aids color-coded protocols that separate sample types or processing stages.
General laboratory environments rely on these closures to limit evaporation, spillage, and airborne contamination on the bench. Their snap-fit format allows quick application across racks of tubes, supporting batch handling in diagnostics, biobanking, and quality-control settings.
