750 mL Wide-Mouth Specimen Containers with Green Screw Caps — Polypropylene, 12/Bag (240-9750-G3L)
These 750 mL wide-mouth specimen containers are molded from virgin polypropylene with a matching green PP screw cap, sized at 120 × 97 mm for high-volume clinical and laboratory collection workflows. The generous 120 mm mouth opening supports direct patient self-collection and large gross tissue submission without secondary transfer, while the natural PP body allows visual specimen volume assessment throughout pre-analytical handling. Supplied non-sterile and unassembled — 12 containers and 12 caps per bag — these containers are autoclave-compatible at 121°C for safe decontamination prior to disposal.

Applications
- 24-hour urine collection: The 750 mL capacity accommodates high-output adult collections for creatinine clearance, urinary protein, hormone panels, and heavy metals within a single container, eliminating mid-collection overflow for most patients.
- Stool specimen collection: The 120 mm wide mouth allows direct patient collection for culture, ova and parasite (O&P), calprotectin, and C. difficile testing without secondary transfer.
- Cytology specimen collection: The large opening accommodates cell brushings, bronchoalveolar lavage, bladder wash, and instrument rinsate directly into the container.
- Environmental and industrial sampling: Stable, wide-base footprint is suited to bulk liquid environmental specimens where spill resistance and leak-free closure are essential.
- Gross tissue and pathology submission: Wide mouth accepts large tissue specimens that cannot pass through standard narrow-mouth containers.
- Decontamination and waste management: Autoclave compatibility at 121°C allows safe processing before disposal in regulated laboratory waste streams.
Chemical Resistance
| Reagent / Condition | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| Aqueous buffers and saline | Excellent |
| Dilute acids and bases | Excellent |
| Urine, stool, and biological fluids | Excellent |
| Ethanol (≤70%) | Good — suitable for short-term contact |
| Formalin (10% neutral buffered) | Good — short-term tissue fixation use |
| Acetone / chloroform / aromatic solvents | Not recommended |
| Autoclave (121°C / 15 psi) | Compatible — dimensionally stable |

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these specimen containers sterile?
No — the 240-9750-G3L is supplied non-sterile. For applications that require sterile containers, please confirm sterility requirements before ordering and inquire about sterile alternatives.
Can these containers be autoclaved for decontamination before disposal?
Yes. The polypropylene construction is autoclave-compatible at 121°C / 15 psi, making these containers well suited for laboratories that must decontaminate biological waste prior to disposal in regulated waste streams.
Why is the cap green, and does it affect which tests I can order?
The green cap serves as a visual routing indicator in color-coded specimen management workflows, commonly used to designate urine, environmental, or specific analyte lanes. The cap color itself does not affect analytical performance, but it simplifies bench organization and reduces mislabeling errors without requiring secondary color labels.
Are these containers available in other volumes for matched procurement?
Yes. Caplugs® Evergreen offers a full range of green-cap wide-mouth specimen containers — including 250 mL, 400 mL, 500 mL, and 900 mL sizes — allowing single-vendor procurement across all collection volumes with consistent materials, cap color coding, and quality standards.
