Sample Cups

Sterile disposable sample cups for the collection and transport of veterinary samples.

A result is only as good as the sample that reaches the laboratory. This subcategory contains containers for collecting and transporting veterinary specimens: two polypropylene sample cups with screw caps, a faecal sample tube with integrated spoon and an EDTA blood collection tube for haematology.

Buyers include veterinary practices with an in-house laboratory, animal clinics, field laboratories and mobile veterinary services that take samples on farm or on house calls and pass them to the practice or an external laboratory. The containers differ by sample type, volume, material and whether they are supplied sterile.

Typical applications

  • Urine samples in small- and large-animal practice
  • Faecal samples for parasitology
  • Blood sampling for blood counts in the practice laboratory
  • Sending samples from field work to the laboratory

What to look for when buying

Choose the container by sample. For urine and other liquids, the graduated 100 ml or 250 ml cups are suitable; the larger cup is meant for cases where more material is needed. For faeces, the 30 ml polystyrene tube with a spoon in the cap is more practical, as the sample can be taken without extra tools. For whole blood, use the 4 ml purple-cap EDTA tube, which is compatible with vacuum systems.

Also check pack size and minimum order. The 100 ml cup comes 250 per carton with a 500-piece minimum, the 250 ml cup 50 per carton. Tubes are supplied 100 per carton.
