Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen 240-9750-G3L is a 750 mL wide-mouth specimen container molded from virgin Polypropylene (PP) with a green PP screw cap. 750 mL accommodates high-output adult 24-hour urine collections within a single container, eliminating mid-collection overflow for most patients. The 120 mm diameter footprint provides a stable base for self-collection in patient bathroom settings. The green cap enables color-coded specimen-type routing — green is widely used to designate urine, environmental, or specific test-type lanes in multi-analyte laboratory workflows. Green cap enables immediate visual differentiation on the bench and in storage without secondary labeling overhead. Supplied unassembled 12/Bag — apply barcode or specimen labels to containers before capping for LIS-integrated workflows.
Virgin PP delivers autoclave compatibility at 121°C for decontamination before disposal, IATA P650-compliant leak-free screw-cap sealing, and dimensional stability from -20°C to +121°C. The 120 mm wide-mouth opening accommodates direct patient self-collection and large gross tissue submission without secondary transfer. Natural PP body allows direct visual specimen volume assessment throughout pre-analytical handling.

Frequently Asked Questions — Caplugs® Evergreen
Is the 750 mL container suitable for 24-hour urine collection?
750 mL accommodates high-output adult 24-hour urine collections within a single container, eliminating mid-collection overflow for most patients. For patients with polyuria or high fluid intake, pair with an additional container or use the 900 mL format. Always instruct patients to transfer all output into the container throughout the collection period.
Are the containers and caps assembled or separate in the Bag?
Supplied unassembled — 12 containers and 12 green 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 before capping in LIS-integrated centralized processing workflows.
Are the containers BPA-free and autoclave-compatible?
Yes to both. The PP container body and green PP screw cap contain no BPA and no phthalate plasticizers. PP is autoclave-compatible at 121°C / 15 psi — leave the cap loose or off during autoclaving to prevent pressure build-up.
