13mm PE Snap Cap (113146C) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap is a clear polyethylene closure built to seat firmly on 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Its press-fit design lets technicians cap and uncap quickly without threading, supporting high-throughput sample handling.
Clear PE construction keeps tube contents visible, so staff can confirm fill levels and labels without removing the cap. Each cap snaps onto a compatible tube rim, providing a consistent fit across mixed glass and plastic inventories.
Packaged in bags of 1000, this closure suits busy labs that consume caps in volume. Procurement teams can standardize on a single SKU that covers several common tube formats, simplifying ordering and stockroom management.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close routine sample tubes across clinical, research, and educational labs. Technicians use them to seal aliquots, store specimens, and protect contents from spills and airborne contamination during transport and benchtop work. Clear material aids visual checks at every step.
Compatibility with multiple tube types lets a single cap serve glass, evacuated, and plastic formats. Phlebotomy stations, sample prep areas, and storage racks all benefit from a closure that fits common 12mm and 13mm tubes, reducing the number of distinct consumables a facility must stock.
