90mL Wide Mouth Clear Polystyrene Lab Jar, 58mm Opening, 432/Case — Cap Sold Separately
The Globe Scientific 90mL Wide Mouth Polystyrene Jar (6374) brings polystyrene optical clarity to the compact small-specimen jar format — the clear PS body allows direct visual inspection of specimen condition, fixation coverage, and fill level without cap removal, which the opaque or translucent PP version (6375) cannot provide. For labs where rapid visual assessment of small specimens at the accessioning station or on the storage shelf is a workflow priority, the PS format eliminates the cap-removal step required to check each jar. Same 432/case pack and 58mm opening as the PP version.
Key features
- Clear polystyrene construction enables direct visual inspection of specimen fixation, tissue color, and fill level through the jar wall — allowing accessioning staff to confirm formalin coverage and specimen condition at the shelf without removing caps and risking formalin splash
- Same 58mm opening and 432/case volume as the PP version (6375) — labs can run PP and PS small jars interchangeably with the same caps, the same storage racks, and the same procurement model, selecting material based only on the optical clarity vs. chemical resistance tradeoff
- Polystyrene is compatible with standard 10% neutral buffered formalin and aqueous fixatives at the concentrations and contact durations used for routine small biopsy specimen fixation — within its chemical compatibility range, the PS jar provides equivalent functional performance to PP
- 432 per case provides high-volume procurement efficiency for labs consuming small specimen jars at high daily frequency — the largest pack size in the Globe Scientific wide-mouth jar line at this volume

Applications
Used in pathology departments, histology labs, and clinical collection centers for small biopsy and cytology specimen storage in standard formalin fixative where visual inspection access through the jar wall is a workflow priority. Select the PP version (6375) for applications using Bouin's solution, glutaraldehyde, or other fixatives outside standard NBF that require polypropylene's broader chemical resistance.
