Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials supplied sterile?
No — the vials are non-sterile. For applications requiring sterile transport vials, please contact our team for alternative product options.
What does "unassembled" mean for this product?
The vials and orange caps are packaged together but are not pre-assembled. This allows labs to fill vials before capping, which is standard practice for bulk specimen collection workflows and helps reduce per-unit cost.
Why is the orange cap color significant?
Color-coded caps are a common lab convention for distinguishing specimen types or workflow categories at a glance. The orange cap allows collection staff and accessioning teams to identify and sort specimens quickly without reading labels, reducing handling errors.
Can the clear PP tube be inspected visually without opening the vial?
Yes — the natural (clear) polypropylene tube body allows direct visual assessment of specimen type, fill volume, and gross quality at accessioning, supporting pre-analytical QC without compromising the sealed specimen.
