Research Laboratory Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCaplugs® Evergreen Slide-Fix™ PAP jars with natural caps serve anatomic pathology, cytology, and molecular pathology laboratories performing microscope slide staining workflows. The PAP jar (Coplin-style) is the standard vessel for immersion slide staining — the jar holds up to 10 slides on edge in a grooved rack insert while immersed in the staining reagent, allowing uniform reagent contact with the slide surface during timed immersion steps. PPC provides full chemical resistance to all standard histology reagents: 10% neutral buffered formalin, ethanol dehydration series, hematoxylin, eosin, xylene substitutes, and IHC antibody diluents and wash buffers. The natural cap color allows the staining bench technician to identify each jar's reagent without reading the label — critical during multi-step staining runs where jars are sequentially positioned on the bench and a labeling error or mistaken jar could cause a staining failure on a diagnostic slide. The Slide-Fix™ color set (Natural, Blue, Orange, Green, Fuschia) provides five visually distinct cap colors for differentiation of up to five reagents simultaneously on the staining bench.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eU.S. Manufacturing, Quality \u0026amp; Institutional Procurement\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCaplugs® Evergreen products are manufactured in the United States under ISO 9001 quality management from FDA-compliant, food-contact-grade resins.
