Foam Biopsy Pads for Tissue Cassettes — Black and Blue, 2000/Case
Globe Scientific Foam Biopsy Pads hold small or fragmented specimens securely inside standard tissue cassettes during fixation, processing, and embedding. Designed for histology and surgical pathology workflows, these pads cushion delicate biopsies, prevent specimen loss through cassette slots, and support consistent orientation for downstream sectioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these pads fit standard tissue cassettes?
Yes. The foam pads are sized for standard histology tissue cassettes and seat flat against the cassette base, leaving room for the lid to close securely over the specimen.
What is the difference between the black and blue pads?
Both pads share identical foam material and dimensions; only the color differs. Many labs use color to distinguish specimen types, processing runs, or shifts for quick visual identification.
Are these biopsy pads chemically compatible with processing reagents?
The foam is intended for routine fixation and tissue processing exposure, including formalin and graded alcohols used in standard histology protocols. Validate against any non-standard reagents in your workflow.
How many pads come in a case?
Each case contains 2000 pads. The per-case list price is $58.80 for both the black (190196) and blue (190195) options.
