7.0 mL Green-Cap Polypropylene Transport Vials — Non-Sterile, Unassembled, 1000/Bag
These 7.0 mL polypropylene transport vials feature a color-coded green cap for reliable specimen differentiation in high-throughput clinical and research workflows. Supplied unassembled and non-sterile in bags of 1000, part number 240-3007-G60 delivers a cost-effective bulk format well suited to urine, cytology, microbiology, and liquid biopsy transport applications. The clear PP body allows direct visual assessment of specimen quality without opening the vial, while the green cap provides immediate identification at the point of collection and in the laboratory.

Applications
- Urine specimen collection and transport — the 7.0 mL format accommodates higher collection volumes for multi-aliquot downstream testing
- Cytology specimen transport where larger-volume vials are required for adequate cellular material
- Microbiology and stool specimen transport, leveraging PP's broad chemical resistance to transport media and preservatives
- Liquid biopsy workflows requiring a single collection vial capable of yielding multiple test aliquots
- General laboratory liquid sample storage and transfer in clinical, hospital, and research settings
- Color-coded batch differentiation in multi-specimen clinical collection workflows, where the green cap distinguishes specimen type or reagent addition at a glance

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For workflows that require sterile vials, such as certain microbiology cultures, verify your laboratory's protocol requirements before use.
What does "unassembled" mean for this product?
The vials and green caps are packaged together in the 1000/Bag but are not pre-capped. Labs assemble them at the point of use or during kitting, which reduces shipping volume and per-unit cost compared to pre-assembled formats.
Why is the 7.0 mL volume an advantage over a standard 5.0 mL transport vial?
The larger 7.0 mL capacity supports higher-volume specimen collections — such as urine, cytology, and liquid biopsy — where a single collection must yield enough material for multiple downstream aliquots without requiring a second draw or collection.
Is polypropylene compatible with common specimen preservatives and transport media?
Yes — PP demonstrates excellent resistance to aqueous buffers, dilute acids and bases, and many alcohols commonly found in transport media and preservatives. For specialty organic solvents or aromatic compounds, consult the chemical resistance data above and validate with your specific reagent before committing to large-scale use.
