The 120 mL volume provides sufficient fixative volume for core needle biopsies, endoscopic biopsies, incisional biopsies, and small excisional specimens — maintaining the recommended 10:1 fixative-to-tissue volume ratio for routine histological fixation. PP's full formaldehyde compatibility ensures no degradation or leaching that could compromise specimen integrity or cause fixative cross-contamination.
