Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — the vials and caps are supplied non-sterile. For applications requiring sterile specimen containers, a separately sourced sterile-certified product should be selected.
What does "unassembled" mean for this product?
Unassembled means the vials and green caps are supplied together in the bag but not pre-joined. Staff assemble them at the point of use, which reduces packaging volume and per-unit cost compared to pre-assembled formats.
What is the significance of the green cap color?
Green caps provide a visual color-code that allows collection staff and laboratory personnel to distinguish specific specimen types or processing categories at a glance, reducing handling errors in multi-specimen workflows where several vial types are in use simultaneously.
Can these vials be used with specimen preservatives or transport media?
Polypropylene offers broad chemical resistance to common clinical preservatives, transport media, and biological specimens. However, prolonged contact with aromatic or chlorinated solvents is not recommended. Confirm compatibility with any specialty reagent before committing to large-volume procurement.
