16mm White Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific Snap Cap (16mm, White Polyethylene) is a closure engineered to fit 16mm glass and evacuated tubes. Each cap presses into place with a secure snap fit, giving laboratories a fast, repeatable way to seal samples without threaded handling. White polyethylene construction supports clear labeling and visual sorting on busy benches.
Designed for high-throughput workflows, these caps suit racks of standard 16mm tubes used across clinical, research, and educational settings. Snap closures speed up batch sealing compared with screw caps, reducing handling time during sample collection and storage. Polyethylene resists many aqueous solutions encountered in routine processing.
Supplied by LabSupplies.com in bulk bags, this SKU helps procurement teams standardize closures across departments. Consistent sizing keeps tube-and-cap inventory simple, while the white color aids quick identification when paired with color-coded systems.

Laboratory Applications
Clinical and diagnostic labs rely on 16mm snap caps to seal blood collection, serum, and aliquot tubes during transport and storage. Snap-fit closures let phlebotomy and processing teams cap large batches quickly, supporting sample integrity through centrifugation and refrigerated holding. White caps integrate with color-coded labeling for chain-of-custody tracking.
Research and teaching laboratories use these caps for buffer storage, reagent aliquoting, and routine specimen retention in standard 16mm tubes. Educational facilities benefit from economical bulk packaging when outfitting multiple lab sections. Quality-control and environmental labs apply them wherever a reliable press-on seal for 16mm tubes is needed.
