Frequently Asked Questions
Are these racks compatible with both PAP jars and five-slide mailers?
Yes — the 20-position format is designed to accommodate Caplugs® Evergreen Slide-Fix™ PAP fixative jars and five-slide mailers, making it suitable for cytology workstations that use both formats side by side.
Can the green racks be used alongside other rack colors for batch identification?
Absolutely. The green color is intended to support multi-rack, color-coded workstation organization, allowing labs to designate separate colors for different staining stages, specimen batches, priorities, or departments without relabeling.
Are these racks autoclavable or chemical-sterilizable?
No — polystyrene is not autoclavable and is not resistant to strong organic solvents. These racks are supplied non-sterile and are intended for standard laboratory use where heat or solvent sterilization is not required.
Does each bag include lot number documentation for accreditation purposes?
Yes — every bag is lot-numbered, providing the traceability documentation needed to satisfy CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 quality management requirements.
