Manufactured from virgin polypropylene, they offer broad chemical inertness across standard clinical preservatives, autoclave compatibility at 121 °C, and a natural semi-translucent finish that allows direct visual sample assessment without opening. The precision-threaded neck pairs with the 300-3010 HDPE screw cap family, available in nine colors, to build a fully color-coded specimen workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240-3010-03K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene (PP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural (semi-translucent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCap Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo — pair with 300-3010 HDPE screw caps (9 colors, 1,000\/Bag)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,000\/Bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutoclave Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e121 °C \/ 15 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e−20 °C to +121 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA-free; no phthalate plasticizers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA (California)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlood bank \/ transfusion medicine:\u003c\/strong\u003e EDTA whole blood, plasma, and serum aliquots; cap color can follow CLSI H3 color convention when paired with 300-3010 caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClinical chemistry outreach:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serum, plasma, and CSF for chemistry panels — the 10 mL volume accommodates volume-intensive panels and reflex testing without a second tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular diagnostics:\u003c\/strong\u003e EDTA-stabilized DNA\/RNA transport; PP is compatible with standard molecular preservatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToxicology \/ drug screening:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urine and serum chain-of-custody transport; screw closure supports leak-free IATA P650-compliant packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrobiology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viral transport media and culture supernatants; PP is inert to standard VTM and culture media formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiobank \/ biorepository:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-term aliquot archiving at −20 °C; PP maintains dimensional stability through freeze-thaw cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForensics \/ chain of custody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evidence and toxicology specimens where color-coded caps support documentation and routing protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision-threaded neck on these vials is matched to the Caplugs® Evergreen 300-3010 HDPE screw cap family, which is available in nine colors at 1,000 caps per bag.
