13mm Gray PE Snap Cap (113146A) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Gray Snap Cap (SKU 113146A) is a polyethylene closure engineered to seat on 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Made from flexible PE, each cap snaps onto compatible tube rims to limit spillage and evaporation during handling and transport.
Gray coloring supports rack-level sorting and quick visual identification across mixed sample sets. Technicians can fit and remove caps by hand, which keeps throughput high in high-volume workflows. Each bag holds 1,000 caps, matching the consumption rate of busy clinical and research benches.
Sold through LabSupplies.com as part of the Globe Scientific tube accessory line, this cap pairs with standard 13mm and 12mm tube formats already common in most laboratories.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close sample tubes during routine collection, storage, and short-term transport. Clinical labs use them to cover specimen tubes between draw and analysis, while research teams seal reagent and aliquot tubes on the bench. Gray caps also help staff group related samples by color during batch processing.
Compatibility with 13mm glass, 13mm evacuated, and 12mm plastic tubes makes this cap a flexible stock item across diagnostic, academic, and industrial settings. Hand-applied closures speed loading and unloading in workflows that move many tubes per shift, reducing the need for specialized capping tools.
