Frequently Asked Questions
How much formalin is in each container?
Every 60 mL container ships prefilled with 30 mL of 10% neutral buffered formalin, leaving room for the specimen and ensuring an adequate fixative-to-tissue ratio for most small biopsies.
Are these specimen containers sterile?
No. These Histoware™ containers are non-sterile, which is standard for formalin-fixed histology and anatomic pathology specimen submission where sterility is not required.
What material is the container made from?
The container is molded from natural polypropylene copolymer (PPC), a durable resin suited to formalin contact and reliable screw-cap sealing. The cap is green for quick visual identification.
How are the containers packaged and sold?
They are sold 50 per Box at a per-pack price. Boxes carry lot numbers for traceability, supporting documentation requirements in accredited laboratory environments.
