Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen 222-5601-G8I is a 60 mL Sterile PPC Specimen Container with Green Screw Cap, individually packed, 100/Box. The sterile individually wrapped format distinguishes this container from the non-sterile 220-series threaded specimen containers — required for direct patient specimen collection for culture and sensitivity (C&S), midstream urine for bacterial culture, wound drainage collection, and any specimen collection requiring a documented sterile collection container at the point of use. Each container is individually sterile-wrapped, maintaining sterility until the individual wrapper is opened at bedside or in the collection room.
PPC: optical clarity for specimen and fill-level inspection through the container wall, full chemical compatibility with standard transport media and preservatives, secure green screw cap closure for specimen transport. BPA-free, phthalate-free, FDA-compliant,
Procurement economics: $79.35/Box (100 units), $0.7935/ea. Sibling: 222-5603-G8I (90 mL PPC Green Cap Individually Packed). LabSupplies.com ships from USA inventory, typically same business day.

Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications
Caplugs® Evergreen 60 mL sterile PPC specimen containers with green screw caps serve clinical microbiology, urology, wound care, and primary care settings as the standard sterile specimen collection container for midstream clean-catch urine culture, wound drainage specimen collection, and respiratory specimen collection. The individually packed format provides a sterile container at the precise point of specimen collection — each wrapper is opened immediately before use, maintaining sterility from factory to patient. Clinical microbiology laboratories and POC settings require individually wrapped containers for collection events outside the central lab, including bedside urine collection for hospitalized patients, ED clean-catch urine collection kits, and ambulatory care wound care dressing changes where the sterile container is opened in the exam room. PPC provides full compatibility with boric acid and sodium formate urine preservatives, ensuring the container does not interact with the preservation chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 60 mL specimen containers sterile?
Yes. Sterile — each container is individually sterile-wrapped, 100/Box. Sterility is maintained until the individual wrapper is opened.
What is the individually packed format?
Individually Packed means each 60 mL container and its green screw cap are wrapped together in an individual sterile barrier package. Opening the individual wrapper at the point of specimen collection provides a documented sterile collection container for culture and sensitivity, molecular diagnostics, and any protocol requiring a sterile specimen vessel.
What is the difference between the sterile and the non-sterile 220-series 60 mL containers?
The sterile is individually packed in a sterile barrier wrapper — required for cultures, molecular diagnostics, and any specimen collection where container sterility must be documented. The non-sterile 220-series threaded specimen containers are bulk-packed and suited to specimen types where sterility is not a requirement (e.g., routine urinalysis, formalin-fixed tissue).
