Globe Scientific 24-Hour Urine Collection Containers, Amber HDPE, Affixed Screwcap — 2000 mL & 2500 mL, Case Packed
The Globe Scientific 24-Hour Urine Collection Containers deliver large-volume, light-protected specimen capture for timed urine studies, supporting creatinine clearance testing, catecholamine and metanephrine assays, and protein quantitation. Amber HDPE walls shield photosensitive analytes during the full collection window, while the affixed screwcap reduces handling steps and spill risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these containers amber instead of clear?
Amber HDPE blocks light that degrades photosensitive analytes like catecholamines and 5-HIAA. Protection across the full 24-hour window helps preserve sample integrity before testing.
Are these containers supplied with acid preservative?
No, they ship non-sterile and without preservative. Labs can add the appropriate acid or base preservative per their assay protocol; the HDPE resists dilute acids commonly used for urine stabilization.
Which volume should I choose for a standard 24-hour collection?
The 2000 mL size suits most adult collections, while the 2500 mL size accommodates higher-output patients or studies needing extra headspace. Both use the same affixed screwcap design.
Can I add preservative through the affixed cap?
The screwcap unthreads fully for filling and additive dispensing, then reseals to a leak-resistant closure. Because the cap is affixed, it stays with the container throughout transport.
