Frequently Asked Questions
Are these specimen containers sterile?
No — these containers are supplied non-sterile. They are intended for general specimen collection, transport, and short-term storage workflows that do not require a sterile container. If your protocol requires sterile containers, please contact us for alternative options.
What does "unassembled" mean for this product?
Unassembled means the caps and containers are packaged separately within the bag rather than pre-attached. Technicians simply thread the natural screw cap onto the container before use, which helps prevent cap deformation during shipping and storage.
Will the containers accept barcode labels and standard specimen stickers?
Yes — the natural PPC body provides a smooth, label-friendly surface compatible with standard adhesive specimen labels, thermal-transfer labels, and barcode stickers used in clinical and research laboratory tracking systems.
Is Polypropylene Copolymer compatible with formalin-fixed specimens?
Polypropylene Copolymer offers good resistance to aqueous formalin solutions commonly used in histology and pathology workflows. For extended or high-concentration formalin exposure, we recommend validating compatibility under your specific conditions before routine use.
