Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications
Caplugs® Evergreen 90 mL sterile PPC specimen containers with green screw caps, individually packed, serve clinical microbiology, urology, wound care, pulmonology, and reference laboratory workflows requiring sterile individually wrapped specimen collection containers. The 90 mL format is the standard bedside sterile urine cup for midstream clean-catch urine culture — the most common sterile specimen container in the clinical setting. Individually packed containers are dispensed to patients in the clinic room, ED collection area, or hospital room, where the individual wrapper provides a verified sterile container at the point of collection without requiring the clinician to handle the container interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 90 mL specimen containers sterile?
Yes. Sterile — individually sterile-wrapped, 100/Box.
Why does the 90 mL use PPC while the 120/150 mL use PP (222-5614/5625)?
The 90 mL container uses PPC for optical clarity (transparent body) and improved cold-temperature flexibility — important for the green-cap format used in rapid bedside collection. The 120/150 mL containers use PP for the larger volume formats, providing broad chemical resistance and cost efficiency at the larger container size. Both are sterile, individually packed, and fully compatible with standard specimen preservatives and transport media.
Is the 90 mL container compatible with boric acid urine preservatives?
Yes. Both PPC and PP are compatible with boric acid and sodium formate, the standard urine preservatives for bacterial culture specimens. The container material will not interact with the preservation chemistry under standard storage conditions.
