13mm Snap Cap, PE, Red (113146R) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113146R) is a polyethylene closure engineered to fit 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Its press-on snap design lets technicians seal and reopen tubes quickly without threading. Red coloring supports rapid visual sorting and sample coding across busy benches.
Manufactured from polyethylene, these caps deliver consistent fit across the common 12-13mm tube formats found in clinical, diagnostic, and research workflows. Each bag holds 1,000 units, giving high-throughput labs a steady supply for repetitive capping tasks. Procurement teams can standardize on a single closure across multiple tube types.
LabSupplies.com stocks the 113146R as an authorized reseller of Globe Scientific products. Lab managers gain a dependable consumable that pairs with existing glass and plastic tube inventories. Ordering in bulk reduces reorder frequency for facilities handling large sample volumes.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps secure samples during transport, storage, and short-term incubation across clinical and research settings. Phlebotomy and diagnostic labs use color-coded closures like this red variant to organize specimen batches and reduce mix-ups. Quick press-on application keeps high-volume sample processing moving without slowing technicians.
Compatibility with 13mm glass, 13mm evacuated, and 12mm plastic tubes makes the 113146R versatile for facilities running mixed tube inventories. Teams capping samples for refrigeration or analysis benefit from a single closure that spans multiple tube formats. Red caps also aid color-based protocols in QC and chemistry workflows.
