Applications
- 24-hour urine sub-aliquoting: The 150 mL format accommodates analyte-specific sub-aliquots for endocrinology, nephrology, and metabolic stone panels requiring sterile collection vessels.
- Large wound and cavity drainage: Surgical wound, chest drain, and cavity wound specimens benefit from the high-volume capacity and sterile individual packaging.
- Bronchial wash and BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage): Pulmonology and bronchoscopy units can collect large-volume BAL specimens while maintaining sterility through individual wrapping.
- Body fluid collection (ascites, pleural effusion): Suitable for large effusion sub-aliquots in aspiration workflows where a sterile, sealed container is required.
- Bulk stool collection: Research GI labs and microbiome studies requiring high-volume stool collection events at a single timepoint.
- High-volume urine protocols: Electrolyte panels, creatinine clearance studies, and other 24-hour urine chemistries requiring sterile containment of specific analyte fractions.
- Point-of-care and inpatient collection: Individual sterile wrapping allows nursing staff and clinicians to open a single container as needed without compromising unused units in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these containers individually sterile, or is the entire box sterile as a unit?
Each container is individually sterile-wrapped, meaning you can open one unit at a time at the point of collection without compromising the sterility of the remaining containers in the box. This is particularly valuable in inpatient and point-of-care settings where containers may be dispensed one at a time over days or weeks.
Are these containers compatible with standard urine preservatives such as boric acid or hydrochloric acid?
Yes — polypropylene provides excellent resistance to boric acid, HCl, and sodium formate, the preservatives most commonly used in 24-hour urine and routine urinalysis protocols. The natural color also allows visual inspection of the specimen level without opening the container.
Can these be used for formalin-fixed tissue or cytology specimens?
Polypropylene is compatible with 10% formalin, so these containers can be used for formalin-fixed specimen transport or cytology collection where a 150 mL sterile vessel is appropriate. Always confirm your laboratory's specific fixation and transport protocols before substituting any container.
Are there smaller-volume versions in the same individually packed sterile format?
Yes — Caplugs® Evergreen offers companion containers in this series, including a 120 mL natural-cap individually packed format and a 90 mL green-cap individually packed option, for workflows requiring smaller collection volumes with the same sterile single-wrap convenience.
