26mL Wide Mouth Clear PS Micro Lab Jar, 33mm Opening, 1452/Case — Cap Sold Separately
The Globe Scientific 26mL Wide Mouth Polystyrene Micro Jar (6364) provides the same compact single-specimen format as the PP version with the critical addition of polystyrene optical clarity — the clear body allows direct visual confirmation of specimen presence, fixation coverage, and tissue color through the jar wall without uncapping. In high-volume pathology and dermatology collection environments where hundreds of small specimen jars are processed daily, the ability to visually scan a tray of clear PS jars for specimen presence at a glance rather than uncapping each one reduces accessioning time and formalin exposure events. Cap sold separately. 1,452 per case.
Key features
- Clear polystyrene body enables at-a-glance visual confirmation of specimen presence and fixation adequacy across an entire tray without opening individual jars — eliminating the time-consuming uncap-check-recap cycle that opaque PP micro jars require for visual accessioning confirmation
- Polystyrene compatibility with standard 10% neutral buffered formalin covers the fixative used in the overwhelming majority of routine surgical pathology small biopsy processing — selecting PS where optical clarity provides a workflow advantage within its chemical compatibility range
- Same 33mm opening and 1,452/case volume as the PP version — PS and PP 26mL micro jars use the same caps and the same storage rack formats, allowing labs to run both materials simultaneously without separate cap inventory or storage system modifications
- 1,452 jars per case through LabSupplies.com delivers institutional procurement cost efficiency for dermatopathology programs, GI pathology services, and high-volume outpatient collection centers where micro jar cost-per-specimen is a measurable budget line

Applications
Used in dermatopathology, GI pathology, and cytology labs for routine small biopsy specimen fixation in standard NBF where visual inspection access at the tray level provides meaningful workflow efficiency over opaque PP micro jars. Select the PP version (6365) for applications involving Bouin's, glutaraldehyde, or fixative formulations outside standard NBF compatibility with polystyrene.
