Green drawers provide strong visual contrast on grossing benches and are used to designate GI, urology, or specific specimen-type batches in multi-category color-coded cassette management programs. The ID label panel on the drawer front allows handwritten or adhesive barcode labeling for accession batch, shift, date, or specimen-type identification — enabling drawer-level tracking in laboratory information system workflows without per-cassette external labeling overhead at the drawer staging stage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePS construction provides the rigidity required to support 400 loaded cassettes (approximately 1.2–1.8 kg at full capacity) without flex or drawer-base distortion that would prevent smooth insertion and withdrawal in cassette storage cabinet systems. PS is autoclave-compatible for decontamination between uses in regulated pathology environments, and resistant to the incidental xylene, ethanol, and paraffin wax contact from wax-infiltrated cassettes stored in the drawer after tissue processing. Drawers stack on standard grossing bench shelving and cassette storage cabinet rails without auxiliary hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt $57.80 per 2\/Bag — $28.8999 per drawer — the delivers organized 400-cassette storage with integrated labeling at a per-drawer cost suited to multi-drawer deployment across a full pathology cassette workflow. Also available: 258-4202-B10 (Blue, 400-capacity, $57.80\/Bag) — enabling color-coded drawer procurement from a single vendor for multi-category staging systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications — Caplugs® Evergreen \u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCaplugs Item #\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2584200G10E1\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e400 tissue\/biopsy cassettes\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePolystyrene (PS)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eID Labels\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eIncluded on drawer front panel — adhesive or peel-and-apply\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2 \/ Bag\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eReorder Unit\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBag of 2\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAutoclave\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e✓ Compatible (121°C \/ 15 psi) for decontamination\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCassette pre-embedding staging, post-processing storage, grossing room organization\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalate\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBPA-free; no phthalate plasticizers\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMade in U.S.A.
