Caplugs® Evergreen 9-Compartment Biopsy Cassettes with Covers, 0.6 mm Holes, Acetal, White — 500/Bag, Unassembled
These 9-compartment biopsy cassettes with covers hold and segregate multiple small tissue fragments through fixation, processing, and embedding. Molded from durable acetal with 0.6 mm perforations, they support reliable reagent exchange for needle biopsies, endoscopic samples, and other small specimens that must stay separated and traceable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these cassettes supplied assembled with covers attached?
No. This pack is supplied unassembled, with cassettes and covers packaged together but separate. You attach the cover at the point of use after loading specimens into the 9 compartments.
What is the purpose of the 0.6 mm holes?
The 0.6 mm perforations allow fixatives, dehydrating solvents, clearing agents, and paraffin to flow through the cassette while retaining small tissue fragments inside each compartment, supporting consistent processing without specimen loss.
Is acetal suitable for routine histology reagents?
Acetal is a rigid, dimensionally stable engineering polymer commonly used for tissue cassettes exposed to formalin, alcohols, xylene, and molten paraffin during standard processing cycles. Validate against your specific protocol.
Are these cassettes sterile?
No. They are supplied non-sterile, which is standard for routine histology and surgical pathology specimen processing where sterility is not required.
