Slide-Sette Saver™ Microscope Slide & Paraffin Block Co-Storage Containers — Black PP, 100/Bag (240-3800-Z30)
The Caplugs® Evergreen Slide-Sette Saver™ is a black polypropylene single-unit container designed to store one microscope slide and its corresponding paraffin block together, preserving the slide-to-block association critical for specimen retrieval, case review, re-sectioning, and long-term archival storage in anatomic pathology and histology laboratories. Supplied non-sterile in 100/Bag, these containers eliminate slide-to-block mismatch risk during retrieval and are well-suited to CAP-compliant specimen archiving workflows. The black color supports color-coded storage systems for department-level batch management or specialty case identification.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides and blocks does each container hold?
Each Slide-Sette Saver™ container is a single-unit design that holds exactly one microscope slide and one paraffin block together, keeping the matched pair associated throughout storage and retrieval.
Are these containers suitable for CAP-accredited anatomic pathology archiving?
Yes — the polypropylene construction supports long-term storage, and the lot-numbered containers provide the traceability documentation required for CAP and CLIA accreditation compliance.
Why choose black containers over other colors?
Black provides the highest visual contrast in multi-color storage systems, making it easy to designate specialty case types, specific departments, or research protocols at a glance without relabeling existing inventory.
Are these containers autoclavable or sterile?
They are supplied non-sterile; polypropylene is autoclavable as a material, but these containers are intended for dry specimen storage rather than sterilization applications. Confirm suitability with your laboratory's specific workflow requirements before autoclaving.
