Multi-Purpose Containers

<h2 data-section-id="13u4l4b" data-start="337" data-end="385">What Are Laboratory Multi-Purpose Containers?</h2>
&nbsp;
Laboratory multi-purpose containers are wide-mouth, lidded plastic vessels designed for a broad range of storage, collection, and transport applications&mdash;reagent and buffer holding, clinical specimen collection, waste collection, tissue fixation, and general sample handling. Globe Scientific's container line covers PP graduated specimen containers (30&ndash;120 mL with screw caps) for clinical applications, PP Tite-Rite wide-mouth containers (40&ndash;90 mL) for histology and specimen transport, and HDPE economy containers (240 mL&ndash;2580 mL with snap lids) for bench-accessible reagent and buffer storage. PP containers are autoclavable at 121&deg;C; HDPE containers offer the broadest chemical compatibility for non-sterile applications. Polypropylene is the correct material for formalin fixation; do not use polystyrene containers with aldehyde-based fixatives.

&nbsp;
Material Match to Contents
PP is the correct choice for specimen collection, urine, tissue, formalin, and sterile applications because it is autoclavable and compatible with most biological fluids and fixatives. HDPE is preferred for chemical storage such as acids, bases, buffers, DI water, and waste collection due to its broad chemical resistance and low leachables. Compatibility with aggressive solvents should always be confirmed before selection.
Closure and Access Speed
Quarter-turn snap caps allow rapid one-hand sealing and are commonly used in high-throughput clinical specimen collection. Full-thread screw caps require multiple rotations and provide a more secure closure suitable for transport and long-term storage. Snap lids on HDPE economy containers are intended for frequent bench access and simple dust protection rather than sealed transport.
Graduated vs Non-Graduated
Graduated containers include volume markings in mL and oz, allowing approximate volume measurement during specimen collection and reagent dispensing. Non-graduated containers are designed for bulk storage where precision is not required, and external measuring tools are used when exact volumes are needed.
Sterile vs Non-Sterile
Sterile PP containers (gamma-irradiated, SAL 10⁻⁶) are required for microbiological, urine, stool, and tissue specimens where contamination would affect results. Non-sterile HDPE containers are used for chemical storage, buffer preparation, and waste handling.

&nbsp;
Globe Scientific PP containers are manufactured from virgin polypropylene compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and are ISO 9001:2015 certified. HDPE containers are precision-molded from virgin resin with smooth interior surfaces and low leachables suitable for chemical storage. Pre-filled Tite-Rite NBF containers contain 10% neutral buffered formalin and are supplied with GHS-compliant hazard labeling in transport-safe packaging. As of 2026, 90 mL PP specimen containers remain the standard format in clinical urinalysis and histopathology specimen workflows. Explore storage boxes and racks for tube organization and jerricans for bulk liquid handling.
