Applications
- Large-volume urine collection: Accommodates patients with higher void volumes where a 90 mL container would be insufficient
- Paediatric urine collection: Ideal for collection bag-to-cup transfers in paediatric urology settings
- 24-hour urine sub-aliquots: Suitable for timed urine protocols including creatinine and protein quantification at reference laboratories
- Wound irrigation drainage: Sufficient capacity for higher-volume wound care and irrigation drainage collection
- Stool specimens with transport media: Provides adequate volume for GI lab enteric pathogen culture with added media
- Respiratory specimens (BAL / tracheal wash): Accommodates bronchoscopy specimen volumes from pulmonology procedures
- Clinical microbiology and reference lab workflows: Individual sterile wrapping maintains specimen integrity from collection through transport

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these containers sterile, and how is sterility maintained?
Yes — each container and its matching screw cap are individually sterile-wrapped. Sterility is maintained until the package is opened at the point of collection, making these appropriate for clinical specimen workflows that require a sterile collection vessel.
What preservatives are compatible with these containers?
The polypropylene construction is compatible with standard specimen preservatives including boric acid, sodium formate, and HCl, as well as common transport media. Chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane or chloroform should not be used, as they can cause the material to crack.
Can these containers be used for 24-hour urine collection protocols?
Yes — the 120 mL capacity makes these well suited for 24-hour urine sub-aliquots used in timed creatinine, protein, and electrolyte assays at reference and hospital laboratories. The sterile individual wrap supports protocol compliance from collection through analysis.
How does this container compare to the 90 mL version in the same line?
The 120 mL format provides additional headspace for patients with larger void volumes, paediatric bag-to-cup transfers, and higher-volume drainage or respiratory specimens. The 90 mL format (222-5603-G8I, green cap) remains appropriate for routine urine collection when the smaller volume is sufficient.
