10 mL Transport Vial Caps, Polypropylene — Green, Non-Sterile, 1000/Bag (240-3010-G60)
These 10 mL polypropylene transport vials ship unassembled with green color-coded caps, making them a practical bulk supply solution for clinical laboratories, outpatient collection sites, and reference labs handling high specimen volumes. The clear natural PP tube body allows direct visual inspection of specimen type, fill level, and quality at accessioning, while the green cap provides at-a-glance color differentiation across multi-specimen collection workflows. Supplied non-sterile at 1000 units per bag, part number 240-3010-G60 delivers cost-effective coverage for urine, stool, cytology, microbiology, and general clinical specimen transport applications.

Applications
- Urine and cytology specimen transport where the 10 mL capacity accommodates larger collection volumes than standard 5 mL vials
- Stool and microbiology specimen collection requiring chemical resistance to transport media and preservatives
- Multi-aliquot workflows and liquid biopsy applications that benefit from the higher volume format
- General clinical specimen transport from outpatient collection sites to receiving and accessioning
- Color-coded batch differentiation in multi-specimen clinical collection programs — the green cap identifies specific specimen types or reagent additions at a glance without breaking the seal
- Pre-analytical quality assessment at accessioning, enabled by the clear tube body for direct visual inspection of specimen type and fill level

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile, which is appropriate for the majority of routine specimen transport, urine, cytology, stool, and pre-analytical workflows that do not require a sterile container. If your application requires sterility, please confirm before ordering.
What does "unassembled" mean, and are the caps included?
Unassembled means the caps and tubes are packed separately within the bag rather than pre-attached. The green caps are included in the 1000/Bag unit count — the unassembled format is a common preference for high-volume collection sites that cap vials at the point of use and benefits from reduced packaging bulk.
Why is the green cap color significant?
Green cap color coding is used in multi-specimen clinical collection workflows to distinguish a specific specimen type, patient cohort, or reagent addition from other vials in the same batch. Using a consistent color convention reduces accessioning errors and allows staff to sort and route specimens visually without reading each label.
Can polypropylene transport vials be used with standard transport media and preservatives?
Yes — polypropylene offers broad resistance to aqueous clinical specimens, dilute acids and bases, and common transport media and preservatives. It is not recommended for prolonged contact with aromatic or chlorinated solvents. For unusual fixatives or preservative chemistries, verify compatibility with your specific reagent before use.
