Frequently Asked Questions
What fixative do these PAP jars contain?
Each jar arrives prefilled with 95% ethyl alcohol, the standard wet fixative for conventional Pap and cytology smears, so slides can be fixed immediately at the point of collection.
How does the Slide-Fix™ lavender cap work?
The lavender Slide-Fix™ cap is designed to retain a single glass slide securely within the jar, holding the slide in the fixative and reducing slippage or breakage during handling and transport.
What material are the jars molded from?
The jar body is natural polypropylene copolymer (PPC), a tough resin suited to alcohol-based fixatives, while the slide-retaining cap is supplied in lavender for quick visual identification.
