Caplugs Evergreen 221-3996-G80 – Sputocol™ Sputum Collection System, 72 Pack, 50 mL (1.7 fl. oz) Conical Tube, Natural Polypropylene Co-Polymer with Green Cap, Stand-Base Housing, Labware

Sputocol is a patented, self-contained device for collecting, transporting and processing sputum and other potentially infectious specimens. Each unit includes a unique funnel-stand-base housing, a 50 ml centrifuge tube and a patient ID label. Instructions for use are also included. The large polyethylene funnel provides a convenient “target area”. Patients simply expectorate and reclose the funnel lid. Hospital/lab personnel can then prepare the specimen for transport without ever contacting a contaminated surface area. Polypropylene material is almost transparent and withstands 12,000 RCF.

• CHOICE OF TUBE: When it comes to the Caplugs Evergreen Sputocol Sputum Collection System, you can fit two types of tube for transport: freestanding or conical. This option is offered as though freestanding tubes can save space, only conical tubes can be used in centrifugation.
• SANITARY DESIGN: When carrying sputum and other potentially infectious specimens, it's ideal to keep the possibility of a spill or leakage as low as possible. That's why these devices are designed to also prevent any contact with the specimen in question. The inside edge of the funnel brings thee specimen directly into the centrifuge tube and prevents contact with the tube rim. The outside edge is extended to provide a safe area for capping and removing.
• WIDE BASE: At the bottom of the funnel-stand housing is the wide base of the collection system. This extra-wide base prevents any tipping so that the tubes themselves don't fall over and break or roll out, which could also lead to a leakage of infectious specimen. During transit, it serves as a sturdy, protective carrier for the tube.
• STRONG MATERIALS: All of the tubes in these collection systems are made of a tough ultra-clear polypropylene, with easy-to-read and raised graduation markings. Not only that, but they can withstand up to 6000 RCF (relative centrifugal force).
