Caplugs® Evergreen Biopsy Cassettes with Covers, Acetal, 1.0 mm Holes, Non-Sterile, Gray, 500/Bag Unassembled
Engineered for small-specimen pathology, these Acetal Biopsy Cassettes with Covers feature 1.0 mm holes that retain tiny core biopsies, endoscopic samples, and fragmented tissue during processing. Acetal construction withstands routine reagent exposure across grossing, embedding, and microtomy workflows, while the gray finish supports color-coded specimen tracking. Supplied unassembled, 500 per bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these cassettes ship assembled?
No. They are supplied unassembled, with covers included separately in the bag. Pair each base with its cover at the point of use during grossing or embedding.
What does the 1.0 mm hole size do?
The 1.0 mm perforations allow processing reagents and paraffin to flow through while retaining very small specimens, such as core biopsies and tissue fragments, that larger-hole cassettes can lose.
Are these cassettes sterile?
No, they are non-sterile. They are intended for routine histology and pathology processing, where terminal embedding and sectioning do not require a sterile consumable.
Is acetal suitable for standard tissue processing reagents?
Acetal is widely used for biopsy cassettes and tolerates routine exposure to fixatives, alcohols, and clearing agents through standard processing cycles. Confirm compatibility with any non-standard reagents in your protocol.
