Each case carries lot numbers, supporting specimen traceability for CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-accredited laboratories. Frequently Asked Questions Why are these containers amber instead of clear? Amber HDPE blocks light that degrades photosensitive analytes like catecholamines and 5-HIAA. Protection across the full 24-hour window helps preserve sample integrity before testing. Are these containers supplied with acid preservative? No, they ship non-sterile and without preservative. Labs can add the appropriate acid or base preservative per their assay protocol; the HDPE resists dilute acids commonly used for urine stabilization. Which volume should I choose for a standard 24-hour collection? The 2000 mL size suits most adult collections, while the 2500 mL size accommodates higher-output patients or studies needing extra headspace. Both use the same affixed screwcap design. Can I add preservative through the affixed cap? The screwcap unthreads fully for filling and additive dispensing, then reseals to a leak-resistant closure. Because the cap is affixed, it stays with the container throughout transport. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Globe Scientific 24-Hour Urine Collection Containers, Amber HDPE, Affixed Screwcap", "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "Globe Scientific" }, "description": "Amber HDPE 24-hour urine collection containers with affixed leak-resistant screwcaps in 2000 mL and 2500 mL formats for timed urine studies.", "offers": { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "priceCurrency": "USD", "lowPrice": "240.00", "highPrice": "294.50", "offerCount": 2, "offers": [ { "@type": "Offer", "sku": "108025A", "price": "240.00", "priceCurrency": "USD" }, { "@type": "Offer", "sku": "108020A", "price": "294.50", "priceCurrency": "USD" } ] } } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why are these containers amber instead of clear?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Amber HDPE blocks light that degrades photosensitive analytes like catecholamines and 5-HIAA.
