40ml Sample Container White Cap No Label Sterile (500pcs)
These multi-functional SampleTite specimen containers are made of non-cytotoxic, durable polypropylene with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) cap. They bear the CE mark according to European Directive 98/79/EC. For in-vitro use only. They feature an easy-grip ring around the base of the container and the cap to ensure that opening and closing the container is easy, even with gloves. The semi-transparent sidewalls with graduation on 3 sides ensure that the contents and their volume are clearly visible. These robust containers are ideal for the collection, transport, and storage of liquid or solid samples under harsh conditions. They are certified as leak-proof up to 95 kPa and prevent formalin leakage and evaporation.
These disposable plastic specimen containers have undergone process validation to ensure they are leak-proof at a pressure differential of at least 95 kPa (0.95 bar, 14 psi). The specimen containers were tested according to the following procedure in accordance with the US Standard Department of Transportation Code Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Parts 100–185 (October 2011 edition): The primary receptacle or secondary packaging used for infectious substances must be capable of withstanding, without leakage, an internal pressure producing a pressure differential of not less than 95 kPa (0.95 bar, 14 psi).
The detailed procedure is as follows:
1. Mark all samples with numbers, ready for testing.
2. Fill all containers to at least 98% with colored carbonated liquid.
3. Place the containers in the vacuum chamber/vessel and set the vacuum to 95 kPa (0.95 bar, 14 psi) for 10 minutes. During the process, a visual inspection for individual or streaming air bubbles is carried out and the findings are recorded.
4. After 10 minutes, remove all samples, place them upside down on a surface covered with white table protection, and check for leakage of colored carbonated liquid. Any leakage is considered a failure and will be rejected.
Passing this test means that these universal containers are suitable for sample transport according to UN3373 packaging instruction when combined with suitable secondary and tertiary packaging, e.g., Specisafe or rigid flexible packaging systems such as RF95-330G
