Cary Blair

Stool container are sterile or non-sterile, single-use medical devices manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene or polyethylene for the collection, containment, preservation, and transport of fecal specimens for diagnostic testing. Available in standard non-preserved formats (30-120 mL) for routine culture, C. difficile toxin, and calprotectin; preserved systems containing formalin, PVA, SAF, or Cary-Blair transport medium for ova and parasite examination and enteric bacterial culture with delayed transport; specialized FOBT/FIT cards for colorectal cancer screening; and large-volume containers (1-3 L) for 72-hour quantitative fat analysis. Critical performance attributes include leak-proof sealing, chemical inertness, preservative efficacy at specified fill volumes, and integrated collection spoons for standardized aliquoting. Strict single-use protocol, adherence to preservative fill line requirements, handling under universal precautions, and appropriate transport conditions are essential for specimen integrity and accurate laboratory results.
