7.0 mL Transport Vial Caps — Polypropylene, Blue, Non-Sterile, Unassembled (240-3007-B60)
These 7.0 mL polypropylene transport vials feature a blue cap and a natural (clear) tube body, making them well suited for color-coded specimen collection and transport workflows in clinical, microbiology, and research settings. Supplied unassembled and non-sterile in a 1000/Bag bulk pack, the vials arrive with caps included so labs can assemble and label them to meet their own workflow requirements. The clear body allows direct visual assessment of specimen quality and fill level without opening the vial.

Applications
- Clinical specimen transport and collection — urine, cytology, stool, and microbiology specimens
- Liquid biopsy workflows requiring a larger-volume collection vessel for multi-aliquot downstream testing
- Multi-specimen collection systems where blue cap color coding reduces misidentification risk
- General laboratory liquid sample transport and short-term storage in compatible media or preservatives
- High-volume specimen collection scenarios where the 7.0 mL format provides additional capacity beyond a standard 5.0 mL vial

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — part number 240-3007-B60 is supplied non-sterile. Laboratories requiring sterile vials for specific specimen types should select a sterile-designated product.
What does "unassembled" mean for these vials?
The vials and blue caps are packaged together but not pre-assembled. This allows labs to fill, label, and cap the vials according to their own workflow, and is a common approach for bulk procurement to reduce per-unit cost.
Why would I choose a 7.0 mL vial over a standard 5.0 mL transport vial?
The larger 7.0 mL capacity accommodates specimen types — such as urine, cytology, stool, and liquid biopsy samples — where sufficient volume is needed to support multiple downstream aliquots from a single collection event without requiring a second draw or collection.
What does the blue cap color signify?
Blue cap color coding is widely used in clinical specimen collection systems to designate specific specimen types or workflow categories. Using color-coded caps helps reduce specimen misidentification risk in multi-specimen collection workflows, though labs should confirm the color convention against their own institutional protocols.
