16mm Snap Cap, Clear PE Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Snap Cap (SKU 113148C) is a clear polyethylene closure engineered for 16mm glass and evacuated tubes. Designed for a secure press-fit seal, this cap helps contain specimens and reagents during handling, storage, and transport. Each cap snaps directly onto the tube rim without threading.
Clarity matters at the bench, and the transparent PE construction lets technicians confirm fill levels and contents without removing the closure. Polyethylene resists many aqueous solutions, supporting routine clinical, diagnostic, and general laboratory workflows. Single-use design reduces cross-contamination risk between samples.
Packaged in high-volume bags, these caps suit facilities that process large tube counts daily. Procurement teams can standardize on one consistent closure across multiple tube types compatible with the 16mm format. Buy direct from LabSupplies.com as an authorized Globe Scientific reseller.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps for 16mm tubes serve clinical, research, and diagnostic settings where samples move between collection, centrifugation, and storage. Technicians use them to close blood collection tubes, sample aliquots, and reagent tubes that match the 16mm format. Quick press-fit application speeds high-throughput specimen processing.
Clear closures support visual inspection of contents and barcoded or labeled tubes during sorting. Laboratories handling large daily volumes rely on consistent, disposable closures to maintain sample integrity and reduce handling steps. These caps pair with compatible glass and evacuated tubes across phlebotomy, microbiology, and general bench work.
