The click-top closure engages and releases with a single thumb press, eliminating the screw-threading motion that requires two hands or wrist rotation in gowned and double-gloved settings. Supplied unassembled, 500 containers and 500 blue caps per Bag, each unit arrives ready for immediate point-of-use assembly at the collection bench. Blue caps are widely used in histopathology to designate formalin-fixed tissue specimens, supporting color-sorted batch processing on grossing benches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePPC construction delivers the formalin resistance that histopathology workflows demand — compatible with 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) at standard tissue fixation concentrations — alongside the broader chemical resistance and low-temperature stability that makes PPC the preferred polymer for tissue collection containers handling diverse specimen types. The 20 mL volume accommodates gross tissue fragments, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirate washes, cell brushing suspensions, and lavage fluid collections within a single vessel format, reducing the container-switching overhead of mixed-volume collection programs. Natural PPC tube body allows direct visual specimen volume assessment and morphology inspection without container removal from the specimen processing tray.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt $173.41 per 500\/Bag — $0.3469 per container — the Histo-Click™ delivers click-top convenience at bulk economics that make full single-use adoption practical for high-volume histopathology cores processing 50–500+ specimens per day. The unassembled format allows pre-labeling or barcode application before capping, supporting integrated laboratory information system (LIS) workflows. Also available: 240-7020-G80 (Green cap, $173.41\/Bag); 240-7020-W80 (White cap, $173.41\/Bag) — enabling full color-scheme procurement for specimen-type color-coding systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications — Caplugs® Evergreen \u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCaplugs Item #\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2407020B80E1\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSub-brand\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHisto-Click™ (Caplugs® Evergreen)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e20 mL\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eClosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eClick-Top Snap Lid — one-hand operation\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTube Material\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene Copolymer (PPC)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTube Color\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCap Material\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene Copolymer (PPC)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCap Color\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFormalin Compat.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e✓ 10% NBF formalin compatible (PPC construction)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAssembly State\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eUnassembled — 500 containers + 500 caps per Bag\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e500 \/ Bag\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHistopathology, cytology, tissue fixation, formalin specimen collection\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalate\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBPA-free; no phthalate plasticizers\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMade in U.S.A.

The Histo-Click™ design enables one-hand container operation during tissue collection, reducing the contamination risk of setting down instruments to operate the container. Screw caps provide a more hermetic seal for transport and long-term storage; click-top is optimized for collection speed and gloved-hand usability at the point of specimen acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAre the Histo-Click™ containers BPA-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes.

The Histo-Click\\u2122 240-7020-B80 is molded from Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC), which is compatible with 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) at standard tissue fixation concentrations used in histopathology grossing protocols. PPC resists formalin-induced polymer degradation at routine fixation volumes and exposure times. For concentrated formalin (\u003e30%) or extended immersion, validate with your reagent SDS before full-volume commitment.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is the difference between click-top closure and screw-cap on specimen containers?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"A click-top closure snaps open and shut with single-thumb pressure \\u2014 no rotation, no threading. This is critical in gloved surgical and grossing settings where standard screw-cap containers require two hands or wrist rotation to open and reseal. The Histo-Click\\u2122 design enables one-hand container operation during tissue collection, reducing the contamination risk of setting down instruments to operate the container. Screw caps provide a more hermetic seal for transport and long-term storage; click-top is optimized for collection speed and gloved-hand usability at the point of specimen acquisition.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Are the Histo-Click\\u2122 240-7020-B80 containers BPA-free?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Yes.
