7.0 mL Transport Vial Caps — Polypropylene, Orange, Non-Sterile, 1000/Bag (240-3007-E60)
These 7.0 mL polypropylene transport vials with orange caps are supplied unassembled in a convenient 1000/Bag format for high-volume specimen collection and transport workflows. The orange cap provides immediate color-coded identification at accessioning, while the clear vial body allows direct visual assessment of specimen quality and fill level. Designed for clinical, research, and biotech environments requiring a larger-volume transport vial, part number 240-3007-E60 delivers broad chemical compatibility and cost-effective bulk supply in a single package.

Applications
- Clinical specimen transport and collection — urine, cytology, and stool specimens requiring a higher-volume vial format
- Microbiology specimen transport, where polypropylene compatibility with transport media and preservatives is essential
- Liquid biopsy workflows that require multiple downstream aliquots from a single 7.0 mL collection vessel
- General laboratory liquid sample transport and short-term storage across research and biotech environments
- Color-coded specimen differentiation at collection, transport, and accessioning — the orange cap distinguishes specific specimen types or workflow categories at a glance

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these transport vials sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For applications requiring sterile transport vials, please contact our team for alternative product options.
What does "unassembled" mean for this product?
The vials and orange caps are included together in the 1000/Bag pack but are not pre-assembled. This reduces the risk of cap deformation during shipping and allows labs to cap vials at the point of use, which is standard practice for bulk transport vial procurement.
Why choose a 7.0 mL vial over a standard 5.0 mL format?
The 7.0 mL volume accommodates higher-volume specimen collections — such as urine, cytology, stool, and liquid biopsy samples — where a single collection vial must yield multiple downstream aliquots for different tests without requiring a second collection event.
Is polypropylene suitable for specimens preserved with organic fixatives or transport media?
Polypropylene offers broad resistance to aqueous specimens, dilute acids and bases, and common alcohols. It is generally compatible with most clinical transport media and preservative reagents. For specimens in aromatic or chlorinated solvent-based fixatives, verify chemical compatibility with your specific reagent before committing to this vial format.
