Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides do these mailers hold, and what size must the slides be?
Each mailer holds up to five standard 25 × 75 mm laboratory microscope glass slides. Slides outside that format may not fit or seat securely.
Are these slide mailers sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For most histology, cytology, and anatomic pathology transport applications, sterility is not required, but labs should confirm their own workflow requirements.
What does the red color signify, and can our lab assign our own meaning to it?
The red body color has no universal pre-assigned meaning; it is designed to support color-coded panel management systems. Your laboratory can assign red mailers to any category — case priority, organ system, stain type, or department — and use other Caplugs® Evergreen mailer colors alongside them to build a complete visual sorting system.
Are these mailers lot-numbered for regulatory traceability?
Yes — each bag carries lot numbering suitable for documentation in CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified, and ISO 15189 regulated laboratory environments where consumable traceability is required.
