Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For applications requiring sterile specimen containers, a sterile-certified product should be selected instead.
Do the vials arrive pre-assembled with the cap attached?
Yes. Each vial ships pre-assembled with the natural cap in place, so they are ready for immediate use at the collection or accessioning station without a separate capping step.
Can these vials be used in a pneumatic tube system or centrifuge?
Polypropylene construction provides the rigidity and impact resistance needed to withstand routine mechanical stress, including pneumatic tube transport and standard centrifuge loading. Always confirm your centrifuge rotor compatibility and tube adapter fit before use.
Are these vials compatible with transport media and urine preservatives?
Polypropylene offers excellent resistance to aqueous clinical specimens, standard transport media, and common preservatives. Compatibility with specific proprietary preservative formulations should be verified prior to adoption in validated workflows.
