16mm Yellow Snap Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific 16mm Yellow Snap Cap (113148Y) is a polyethylene closure engineered for 16mm glass and evacuated tubes. Designed to seat with a firm snap, this cap secures sample contents during handling, storage, and transport. Yellow coloring supports rapid visual sorting and color-coded workflows across busy labs.
Manufactured from polyethylene (PE), each cap offers reliable retention on standard 16mm tube formats. Technicians can apply and remove the closure quickly without specialized tooling, keeping throughput high during high-volume sample processing.
Packaged 1000 caps per bag, this listing suits clinical, research, and diagnostic facilities that consume closures at scale. Color differentiation helps teams separate sample types, batches, or departments at a glance.

Laboratory Applications
Snap caps in this class close 16mm tubes used for specimen collection, sample storage, and routine sample transfer. Clinical and diagnostic teams rely on secure closures to limit spills and evaporation while tubes move between collection, centrifugation, and analysis stations.
Color-coded caps support inventory organization, batch tracking, and departmental separation. Research labs apply yellow closures to flag specific assays or sample groups, reducing handling errors during high-volume runs.
