13mm Yellow Snap Cap (113146Y) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13mm Snap Cap (113146Y) is a polyethylene closure built to seal 13mm glass tubes, 13mm evacuated tubes, and 12mm plastic test tubes. Its yellow color supports fast visual coding across racks, batches, and protocols. Each cap snaps into place for a secure, repeatable fit.
Made from flexible PE, these caps deliver consistent retention without specialized tools. Technicians can apply and remove them by hand, which speeds high-volume sample handling. Color differentiation helps labs separate assays, patients, or workflow stages at a glance.
Packaged in a bag of 1000, this SKU suits clinical, research, and teaching environments that consume closures in bulk. Yellow caps pair well with multi-color sets when you need a clear sorting system.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps close tubes used in sample collection, storage, and transport across clinical and research labs. Yellow caps let teams code specimens by type, study arm, or processing stage, reducing mix-ups during busy runs. Phlebotomy stations and diagnostic benches rely on quick hand-applied closures like these to keep throughput high.
Research groups apply color-coded caps to organize sample libraries, time-point series, and reagent aliquots. Teaching labs benefit from simple, reusable closures that students can handle without instruments. Any workflow that fills 13mm or 12mm tubes can standardize on these caps for consistent sealing.
