16mm Clear PE Snap Caps Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Clear PE Snap Cap (SKU 113144C) secures 16mm glass and evacuated tubes with a simple press-on fit. Molded from polyethylene, each cap delivers a clear profile that lets technicians read sample levels and labels without removing the closure.
Designed for routine specimen handling, these caps snap onto standard 16mm tubes to limit spills and reduce open-tube exposure during transport and storage. Clarity supports visual inspection across collection, processing, and archival steps.
Each bag holds 1000 caps, and a master case combines 10 bags for 10,000 units, making this listing suited to high-throughput labs that consume closures by the thousand.

Laboratory Applications
Clinical and research labs rely on snap caps to close 16mm tubes during specimen collection, centrifugation prep, and refrigerated storage. Clear polyethylene allows staff to confirm fill volume and check for hemolysis or particulates without breaking the seal, keeping samples contained as they move between stations.
High-volume workflows benefit from press-on closures that apply quickly by hand. Phlebotomy stations, sample banks, and teaching labs use these caps to standardize tube handling across racks and batches, reducing the chance of mislabeled or uncovered tubes.
