The natural color of the HDPE allows direct visual volume assessment without removing the container from the processing area, and the precision-molded lid geometry provides leak-resistant closure under standard handling and transport conditions — note that secondary containment is required for biological substance transport under IATA regulations. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Caplugs® Evergreen dealer shipping from USA inventory; tiered pricing is available for institutional and high-volume procurement. The 240-5705-06N is part of a matched press-close container range spanning 8 oz to 165 oz (240-5701-06N through 240-5706-06N), enabling single-vendor standardization across collection volume requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these specimen containers sterile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — they are supplied non-sterile.
