Five-Slide Mailers — Polypropylene, Natural, 25×75 mm, 100/Bag (240-3074-030)
These polypropylene five-slide mailers are designed to transport up to five standard 25×75 mm laboratory glass slides simultaneously, keeping complete stain panels or biopsy level series intact from preparation through pathologist review. Supplied non-sterile in a convenient 100/Bag format, they are well suited to high-throughput anatomic pathology, reference lab, and proficiency-testing workflows where multi-slide case submissions are routine. The natural-colored body allows visual confirmation of slide count and label readability before sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these slide mailers sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile, which is standard for fixed or stained histology and cytology slides that do not require aseptic handling after processing.
What slide size do these mailers accept?
They are designed for standard 25 mm × 75 mm × 1 mm laboratory microscope slides — the format used in virtually all histology, cytology, hematology, and IHC workflows.
Can these mailers be used for postal or courier shipping of slides?
Yes. The rigid polypropylene construction protects glass slides against breakage, moisture, and contamination during postal mailing and courier transport, making part number 240-3074-030 a practical choice for reference lab submissions, proficiency testing distribution, and teleconsultation programs.
Are the mailers lot-numbered for laboratory accreditation purposes?
Yes — lot numbering supports traceability documentation required under CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 laboratory quality programs.
