16mm Blue PE Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Blue Snap Cap (SKU 113144B) is a polyethylene closure built to seat on 16mm glass and evacuated tubes. Each cap snaps onto the tube rim for fast, repeatable sealing across routine sample handling. Blue coloring supports quick visual sorting on crowded racks and benches.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), this cap is designed for single-format compatibility with 16mm tubes used throughout clinical, research, and teaching labs. Technicians get a consistent fit that helps reduce spills during transport and short-term storage.
Packaged in bags of 1000, the cap suits high-throughput workflows where closures are consumed in volume. Procurement teams can standardize on one part number across multiple departments.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close 16mm tubes during sample collection, aliquoting, and short-term storage. Labs running blood draws, specimen processing, or routine chemistry use these closures to keep contents secured between handling steps. Color coding by cap helps staff separate sample types or batches at a glance.
Research and academic settings rely on consistent closures for reagent holding and student work with standard tubes. Because the cap snaps rather than threads, technicians can seal and reopen tubes quickly during repetitive tasks. Centralized purchasing of a single closure type simplifies inventory across busy departments.
