Frequently Asked Questions
Are these specimen containers sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile and unassembled in 500/Bag packaging. For workflows requiring sterile containers, a separately sterility-assured product should be selected.
What does the green cap color signify?
Green cap color enables visual identification for color-coded laboratory workflows, allowing staff to distinguish container types, departments, or specimen categories at a glance without additional labeling.
Are these containers compatible with standard barcode labeling systems?
Yes — the smooth body of each container accepts standard adhesive labels and is compatible with barcode scanning protocols commonly used in clinical pathology and research specimen tracking systems.
Can these containers be used with formalin or other fixatives?
Polypropylene copolymer offers good resistance to aqueous fixatives such as formalin under short-term contact conditions. For prolonged fixative storage or aggressive solvent-based reagents, confirm compatibility with your laboratory's chemical safety protocols before use.
