7.0 mL Transport Vial Caps, Polypropylene — Natural, Non-Sterile, Unassembled (240-3007-060)
These 7.0 mL polypropylene transport vials with natural caps are supplied unassembled and non-sterile in bulk packs of 1000 for cost-effective specimen transport workflows. The clear body allows direct visual inspection of specimen quality and fill level, while the natural cap supports color-coded specimen identification protocols. Part number 240-3007-060 is well suited to clinical, microbiology, and research laboratories requiring a larger-volume transport vial with broad chemical compatibility.

Applications
- Clinical specimen transport: urine collection and transport requiring volumes beyond the standard 5.0 mL format
- Cytology specimen collection where higher specimen volumes support downstream slide preparation and cell block workflows
- Microbiology and stool specimen transport with polypropylene's broad resistance to transport media and preservatives
- Liquid biopsy and multi-aliquot workflows where a single 7.0 mL collection vial must yield multiple downstream test aliquots
- General laboratory liquid sample storage and transport requiring a rigid, chemically inert container with low specimen absorption

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For specimen types that require a sterile container, verify whether non-sterile polypropylene vials are acceptable under your laboratory's collection and transport protocols before use.
What does "unassembled" mean for this product?
Unassembled means the caps and vial bodies are packed separately in the bag rather than pre-capped. This reduces shipping volume and cost for bulk procurement, and technicians cap vials at the point of use.
Why choose a 7.0 mL vial over the standard 5.0 mL format?
The larger 7.0 mL volume accommodates specimen types — such as urine, cytology, stool, and liquid biopsy samples — where a single collection must yield multiple downstream test aliquots, or where collection protocols require a higher minimum volume to ensure specimen adequacy.
Is polypropylene compatible with common specimen preservatives and transport media?
Yes. Polypropylene offers excellent resistance to aqueous buffers, dilute acids and bases, and many alcohols commonly found in transport media and preservatives. Avoid contact with aromatic or chlorinated solvents, which are not recommended for use with PP labware.
