250–400 mL Specimen Containers, Screw Caps, PP, White — 240-9500-W3L | 18/Bag | Caplugs® Evergreen

500 mL Wide-Mouth Specimen Containers with White Screw Caps, 90 × 125 mm — PP, Non-Sterile, 18/Bag

Technical Narrative

The Caplugs® Evergreen 240-9500-W3L is a 500 mL wide-mouth specimen container precision-molded from virgin Polypropylene (PP) with a white PP screw cap — engineered for 24-hour urine collection, high-output urine protocols, bulk stool and large tissue specimen collection, and environmental sampling. The 90 mm wide-mouth opening enables direct patient collection, instrument rinsate capture, and large tissue specimen submission without secondary transfer steps. The white cap supports neutral, high-contrast closure suitable for multi-purpose specimen collection and any workflow where a single universal cap color is used across specimen types. White cap provides maximum label-contrast surface for adhesive and printed specimen labels — ideal for laboratories using universal cap color with secondary barcode identification. Supplied unassembled 18/Bag for pre-labeling flexibility — apply barcode or specimen labels to containers before capping in centralized processing workflows.

500 mL provides the best single-container coverage for variable 24-hour urine output ranges and accommodates large biopsy and gross tissue submissions that overflow the 250–400 mL formats. Virgin PP delivers autoclave compatibility at 121°C for decontamination before disposal, IATA P650-compliant leak-free screw-cap sealing for biological specimen transport, and dimensional stability from -20°C to +121°C. Natural PP allows direct visual specimen volume and gross morphology assessment throughout the pre-analytical chain without container removal from processing racks. Both the container body and cap are molded from the same PP grade, ensuring compatible thread engagement without cross-material dimensional variance across temperature cycles.

At $43.19 per 18/Bag — $2.3992 per container — the delivers 500 mL wide-mouth collection capacity at bulk economics. The complete White cap Caplugs® Evergreen wide-mouth range: 240-9250-W3L (250 mL / 90×65 mm / White cap, $62.59/Bag); 240-9400-W3L (400 mL / 90×100 mm / White cap, $54.03/Bag); 240-9950-W3L (900 mL / White cap) — enabling matched single-vendor procurement across the full collection volume spectrum from a single product family.

Technical Specifications — Caplugs® Evergreen

Clinical & Laboratory Workflow Compatibility —

500 mL is the preferred single-container format for 24-hour urine collection protocols where high fluid intake or polyuria is anticipated.

PP is autoclave-compatible for decontamination before disposal. Supplied Non-Sterile and unassembled. Screw cap provides IATA P650-compliant primary container leak-free seal for biological specimen transport.

Chemical Resistance — Polypropylene (PP)

Both the container body and the white PP screw cap are molded from virgin Polypropylene (PP). PP provides broad chemical resistance including autoclave compatibility and frozen storage stability at -20°C.

Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications

The 500 mL wide-mouth container serves clinical urinalysis and urology outpatient collection programs, hospital clinical chemistry for 24-hour urine collection, high-output urine protocols, bulk stool and large tissue specimen collection, and environmental sampling, cytopathology labs for bladder wash and bronchial lavage collection, clinical microbiology for stool and wound specimen submission, anatomic pathology for gross tissue specimen intake, environmental and food safety labs for field sample collection, biorepository programs for bulk aliquot archiving, and molecular diagnostics for large-volume NAT specimen collection. The 18/Bag format suits moderate-volume collection programs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Caplugs® Evergreen

Is the 500 mL container suitable for 24-hour urine collection?

500 mL is the preferred single-container format for 24-hour urine collection protocols where high fluid intake or polyuria is anticipated. The 500 mL format should be evaluated against your patient population's expected daily urine output. For high-output patients (polyuria, high fluid intake protocols), consider supplementing with the 900 mL format for very high output collections.

Is the container and cap assembled or separate in the Bag?

The is supplied unassembled — 18 containers and 18 white PP screw caps packed separately in the same Bag. Thread caps finger-tight before specimen collection or transport. The unassembled format allows pre-labeling, barcode printing, or ink-jet identification on containers before capping — the preferred workflow in LIS-integrated centralized processing environments.

Are the containers and caps BPA-free and autoclave-compatible?

Yes to both. The PP container body and white PP screw cap are molded from virgin Polypropylene containing no BPA and no phthalate plasticizers. PP is autoclave-compatible at 121°C / 15 psi for decontamination before disposal — leave the cap loose or off during autoclaving to prevent pressure build-up inside the container.
