The 15 mL format is specified for stool specimen collection kits where Cary-Blair, Amies, or formalin\/PVA enteric transport media requires a 10–15 mL container — the 15 mL vial provides compatible volume with the tube. Reference laboratories collecting 24-hour urine specimens use 15 mL vials for sub-aliquoting from the primary collection jug for creatinine, protein, electrolyte, and drug monitoring panels, where the 15 mL sub-aliquot matches the standard 15 mL conical tube used in downstream centrifugation. The 1000\/Bag bulk format (222-3615-08K) provides per-vial economics for high-throughput labs — confirm cap inclusion with Caplugs or pair with 222-3010-02N caps before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eU.S. Manufacturing, Quality \u0026amp; Institutional Procurement\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCaplugs® Evergreen products are manufactured in the United States under ISO 9001 quality management from FDA-compliant, food-contact-grade resins.
