16mm Blue Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Blue Snap Cap (113148B) is a polyethylene closure engineered to seat on 16mm glass and evacuated tubes. Each cap snaps into place for a secure, repeatable fit across routine sample handling. Blue coloring supports fast visual sorting and color-coded workflows on the bench.
Molded from PE, this cap pairs with standard 16mm tube formats used throughout clinical and research labs. Snap-on application speeds capping during high-volume processing, while the consistent dimensional profile helps maintain a reliable seat batch after batch.
Supplied in bags of 1000, these caps suit both moderate daily use and large-scale operations through master-case ordering. LabSupplies.com stocks 113148B as an authorized reseller of Globe Scientific consumables.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps in the 16mm format close test tubes during sample collection, storage, and transport. Labs running clinical chemistry, hematology, and general specimen handling rely on PE closures to cover tube contents between processing steps. Blue coding helps technicians group samples by protocol, patient batch, or assay type on crowded racks.
These caps also support educational and research settings where 16mm glass tubes are standard. Quick snap-on application keeps capping efficient during repetitive aliquoting and incubation prep, and the polyethylene body resists routine handling on the bench.
