Frequently Asked Questions
Are these racks sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile, which is standard for slide organization racks used in cytology and pathology workstations where sterility is not required.
What does "assorted colors" mean — can I choose specific colors?
The assorted pack contains multiple polystyrene rack colors in a single bag. Specific color assortments are not selectable; the variety is intended to enable immediate multi-color coding across processing stages or departments straight out of the bag.
Which Caplugs® Evergreen products fit in these racks?
The racks are designed to hold Caplugs® Evergreen Slide-Fix™ PAP fixative jars and five-slide mailers. Confirm compatibility with other slide containers before use.
Are these racks reusable, and how should they be cleaned?
Yes — the polystyrene construction supports repeated use with aqueous disinfectants and mild detergent rinses. Avoid alcohols above 70%, acetone, xylene, and other organic solvents, which can craze or dissolve polystyrene.
