Frequently Asked Questions
What slide size fits inside these mailers?
The interior accommodates a single standard 25 mm × 75 mm laboratory glass slide — the format used across histology, cytology, hematology, IHC, and special stain workflows.
Are these mailers sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile, which is appropriate for fixed, stained, or processed glass slides that do not require a sterile container. The lot numbering still supports full traceability requirements.
Why choose blue mailers over a clear or unlabeled option?
The blue body color enables color-coded slide management systems, allowing staff to visually distinguish slide type, case category, or specimen batch at receipt, sorting, and review — reducing misidentification risk in high-volume pathology workflows without additional labeling steps.
Are these mailers suitable for regulatory or accreditation programs such as CAP proficiency testing?
Yes — the lot-numbered PPC construction and the 25 × 75 mm slide compatibility make these mailers well suited for proficiency testing submissions, second-opinion consultations, and interlaboratory transfers in CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-accredited settings.
