16mm Green Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Green Snap Cap (SKU 113148G) is a polyethylene closure engineered to fit 16mm glass and evacuated tubes. Its snap-on design lets technicians seal and reseal tubes quickly without threading, supporting fast sample handling at the bench.
Molded from polyethylene (PE), each cap delivers a secure friction fit on standard 16mm tube openings. Green color coding helps labs separate sample sets, assign protocols by group, or distinguish racks at a glance during high-volume processing.
Packaged in bags of 1000 by Globe Scientific, this cap suits clinical, research, and diagnostic settings that consume closures in volume. LabSupplies.com stocks the green variant for ordering alongside compatible tube formats.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps seal collection and storage tubes during sample transport, refrigerated storage, and routine processing. Technicians use the friction fit to close tubes after aliquoting, then reopen them without tools. Green coding assigns visual identity to specific assays, patient groups, or workflow stages on a crowded bench.
Clinical and research labs running 16mm glass or evacuated tubes rely on color-matched closures to reduce mix-ups across racks. Diagnostic facilities, blood draw stations, and academic teaching labs use snap caps where rapid sealing matters more than threaded torque. Pair with your existing 16mm tube inventory for consistent fit.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
Each unit ships as a bag of 1000 caps, with a master case holding 10 bags for 10,000 caps total. High-volume labs can standardize on full cases to lower per-cap cost and simplify reordering. Institutional purchasers, GPO members, and procurement officers can request volume quotes and set up recurring orders through LabSupplies.com.
