Question 1

What's the difference between a vac lid specimen cup and a standard screw cap cup?

Accepted Answer

A standard screw cap cup requires you to open it and manually transfer urine into transport tubes. The Tanner Scientific vac lid has an integrated vacuum port under a protective label. You push a vacuum collection tube into the port, and the tube's vacuum pulls urine directly from the cup into the tube - no opening, no pouring, no splash risk. The cup stays sealed throughout the transfer process.

Question 2

What vacuum tubes are compatible with this specimen cup?

Accepted Answer

The Tanner Scientific vac lid is compatible with standard 5mL and 10mL vacuum collection tubes. These are the same tubes most labs and collection sites already have in their supply rooms.

Question 3

How does the temperature strip work on a specimen cup?

Accepted Answer

The temperature strip is pre-applied to the exterior of the cup and reads between 90-100°F (32-38°C). Fresh urine should register within this range when checked within 4 minutes of collection. A reading outside this range is a red flag that the specimen may have been substituted or tampered with.

Question 4

Are these specimen cups individually wrapped?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each cup is sterile and individually wrapped to prevent contamination before use. The tamper evident seal and patient ID label are included on each unit.

Question 5

How should sterile specimen cups be stored?

Accepted Answer

Store at room temperature in their sealed packaging until use. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity. When stored properly, they maintain sterility until the expiration date printed on the package.

Question 6

Can I get free samples of specimen cups before committing to a full case?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mercedes Scientific will send you samples so you and your staff can test them alongside whatever cups you're currently using. Contact us to request free samples.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send us a quote or invoice from your current supplier for any comparable sterile specimen cup. We'll beat their price. Upload through your Care Concierge or contact us directly.

Question 8

What if I need other collection and testing supplies too?

Accepted Answer

Most Mercedes Scientific customers order specimen cups alongside drug test cups, drug test cards, gloves, biohazard bags, transfer devices, and other collection supplies.
