Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113146B) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113146B) is a blue polyethylene closure designed to seal 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Each cap presses on with a positive snap fit, giving technicians a fast, repeatable way to secure samples without screw threading.
Polyethylene construction keeps these caps flexible and chemically tolerant for routine sample handling. Blue coloring supports visual sorting and rack identification, helping busy labs separate batches at a glance.
Sold in bags of 1000, this SKU suits high-throughput environments that consume closures by the thousand. Procurement teams can standardize on a single part number across multiple compatible tube formats.
