250 mL Wide-Mouth Specimen Containers with Green Screw Caps, 90 × 65 mm (D × H) — PP, Non-Sterile, 36/Bag Unassembled

Technical Narrative

The Caplugs® Evergreen 240-9250-G3L is a 250 mL wide-mouth specimen container precision-molded from virgin Polypropylene (PP) with a green PP screw cap — the standard entry-point volume in the Caplugs® Evergreen wide-mouth specimen container range. The 90 mm diameter wide-mouth opening accommodates direct patient urine collection, cytology brushing and lavage collection, microbiology culture media inoculation, and small tissue specimen submission without secondary transfer steps that introduce contamination risk and pre-analytical variability. The green screw cap enables color-coded specimen batch routing — green is commonly used to designate urine, environmental, or specific specimen-type lanes in color-sorted laboratory workflows. Supplied unassembled 36/Bag for pre-labeling flexibility at point of use.

Virgin PP delivers autoclave compatibility at 121°C for decontamination before disposal, broad chemical resistance to standard clinical preservatives and transport media, and dimensional stability from -20°C to +121°C. The precision-threaded screw cap provides a positive leak-free seal that meets IATA P650 biological specimen packaging requirements for primary container integrity. Natural PP allows direct visual specimen volume and gross morphology assessment throughout the pre-analytical chain.

At $62.59 per 36/Bag — $1.7385 per container — the delivers wide-mouth collection capacity at bulk procurement economics. The green-cap Caplugs® Evergreen wide-mouth container range spans 250–750 mL for matched single-vendor procurement: 240-9400-G3L (400 mL PP / Green cap); 240-9500-G3L (500 mL PP / Green cap); 240-9750-G3L (750 mL PP / Green cap); 240-9950-03K (900 mL PP / Natural cap).

Frequently Asked Questions — Caplugs® Evergreen

What is the mouth diameter of the container?

The has a 90 × 65 mm (D × H) footprint with a wide-mouth opening designed for direct patient collection and large specimen submission. The 90 mm outer diameter wide mouth is the defining characteristic of this container family — substantially wider than standard screw-cap transport vials, enabling direct collection without funnel accessories for most adult patients.

Is the container compatible with formalin and autoclave?

PP is compatible with brief exposure to 10% buffered formalin for tissue fixation workflows and is autoclave-compatible at 121°C / 15 psi for decontamination before disposal. PP is not recommended for prolonged formalin immersion or concentrated (>30%) formalin. Always confirm with your reagent SDS.

Are the containers BPA-free?

Yes. Both the PP container body and the PP green screw cap are molded from virgin Polypropylene containing no BPA and no phthalate plasticizers — suitable for clinical, environmental, and regulated laboratory specimen collection.
