Frequently Asked Questions
What fixative comes in these PAP jars?
Each jar is prefilled with 95% ethyl alcohol, the standard wet-fixation reagent for Pap and cytology smears. The prefill eliminates manual filling at the point of collection.
What material are the jars made from?
The jar body is polypropylene copolymer (PPC), which resists cracking and tolerates alcohol fixatives. The orange screw cap helps differentiate prefilled units and supports a secure closure for transport.
How many jars are in each pack?
This SKU (308-5500-E8K) ships 25 jars per Box. Pricing is per pack, and tiered institutional pricing is available for larger orders.
Are these jars sterile?
No. These are non-sterile PAP transport jars intended for slide fixation and shipping, not for sterile sample collection.
