Frequently asked questions
Are collection spoons included?
The inclusion of a collection spoon is variant-specific.
- Containers with a Spoon: Many standard configurations, such as the 30 mL containers made of PS or PP, include an integrated collection spoon and a screw cap for easy specimen handling.
- Containers Without a Spoon: Other specialized configurations, such as the larger 50 mL self-standing containers and the 50 mL Centrifuge Tube options, are typically supplied without a spoon. Always verify the specific configuration details before ordering.
Is a collection spoon included with the containers?
Yes, many configurations of these fecal collection containers include an attached spoon to facilitate easy and hygienic specimen collection. The inclusion of a spoon is an integrated feature designed to streamline the collection process.
For example, the 30 mL containers (made from Polystyrene or Polypropylene) are typically equipped with both a spoon and a secure screwcap.
Important Note: Inclusion varies by configuration. While many standard options feature a spoon, specialized variants (like the 50 mL centrifuge tubes) may be sold without this component. Always check the specific variant details before ordering.
Are these containers specialized for clinical specimen handling?
Yes, these Globe Scientific containers are specifically designed as essential tools for clinical specimen collection and transport in medical and laboratory settings. They offer high versatility to meet various testing protocols.
Key features that ensure reliable sample integrity include:
- Material and Volume Options: Available in 20 mL, 30 mL, and 50 mL sizes, made from either Polystyrene (PS) or Polypropylene (PP).
- Secure Configurations: Most variants include secure screw caps, and some configurations feature integrated spoons for easy collection.
- Sterility: Options are available in both sterile and non-sterile versions.
- Enhanced Management: Certain models include useful features like printed graduations for volumetric measurement or integrated Patient ID Labels for improved sample traceability.
Do these containers include sterile options?
Yes, the Globe Scientific Fecal Collection Containers product line offers flexibility by providing both sterile and non-sterile options.
This ensures that you can select the required level of specimen integrity for different clinical and laboratory protocols, especially where preventing contamination is critical.
What materials are the containers made from?
The collection containers are offered in two primary materials, allowing you to choose the configuration best suited for your laboratory protocols:
- Polystyrene (PS): A dependable and common material for general specimen collection.
- Polypropylene (PP): This material is known for its durability and greater resistance properties, providing robust containment for safe handling and transport of specimens.
Are varied collection volumes offered?
Yes, the Globe Scientific Fecal Collection Containers are offered in a variety of capacities to accommodate diverse laboratory and clinical requirements. This wide selection is a key selling point.
The available collection volumes are:
- 20 mL
- 30 mL
- 50 mL (Specific 50 mL variants are available as self-standing containers, which helps streamline laboratory workflow.)
This range ensures flexibility based on the necessary sample size.
Are various bulk packaging options available?
Yes, Globe Scientific Fecal Collection Containers are available in several bulk packaging options to accommodate diverse laboratory needs. You can choose from:
- Standard Cases: Many variants are packaged in bulk cases of up to 500 containers per case.
- Smaller Bag Units: Specific configurations, often including sterile options, are packaged in smaller bags, typically 25 containers per bag.
- Bulk Pallet Quantities: For very high-volume requirements, some configurations are available in bulk pallet quantities.
Do the collection containers include a spoon?
Yes, a collection spoon is included with many configurations of the Globe Scientific Fecal Collection Containers, but its inclusion is dependent on the specific variant you select.
- Containers with a Spoon: Standard configurations, such as the 30 mL containers (available in Polystyrene/PS or Polypropylene/PP), are typically supplied with an integrated spoon and a secure screw cap to assist with hygienic sample collection.
- Containers Without a Spoon: Specialized designs, such as the 50 mL self-standing containers or centrifuge tubes, are generally not packaged with a collection spoon.
Always verify the chosen configuration details to ensure it meets your specific component needs.
Is a metal-free container variant offered?
Yes, a metal-free configuration is available, which is essential for specific, sensitive laboratory protocols where metal contamination must be avoided.
This option is exclusive to a specialized 50 mL centrifuge tube variant.
Key features of this variant include:
- Explicitly metal-free composition.
- Designed with a self-standing base.
- It is generally offered as a non-sterile option.
Do the collection containers use secure screw caps?
The type of closure used depends on the specific configuration of the collection container, but most variants feature reliable seals for secure handling:
- Screw Caps: The majority of the containers, including the standard 30 mL containers and those with printed graduations, utilize secure screw caps. This design is crucial for ensuring a reliable, leak-resistant seal, which helps maintain specimen integrity during transportation.
- Neutral Caps: A specialized configuration, the 50 mL metal-free Centrifuge Tube, is supplied with a neutral cap instead of a standard screw cap.
