16mm Gray PE Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific Snap Cap, 16mm, Gray PE seals 16mm glass and evacuated tubes with a secure press-on fit. Molded from polyethylene, each cap snaps cleanly onto compatible tube rims and holds samples through routine handling, storage, and transport.
Gray coloring helps technicians sort and identify capped racks quickly during high-throughput workflows. Polyethylene resists many common aqueous samples and stays flexible for repeated handling, supporting consistent closure performance across large batches.
Packaged in bags of 1000, this cap suits clinical, research, and reference labs that close tubes in volume. Buy SKU 113144A through LabSupplies.com for standardized inventory across your benches.

Laboratory Applications
Labs use 16mm snap caps to close blood collection, serum, and general specimen tubes after filling. The press-on design lets technicians cap many tubes rapidly without threading, which keeps batch processing moving during sample intake and aliquoting.
Color-coded gray caps support tracking and segregation protocols where teams assign closures to specific sample types or shifts. Storage and short-distance transport benefit from a snug fit that helps reduce spills and contamination between the bench and centrifuge or refrigerator.
