Frequently Asked Questions
Will these containers keep my slides and paraffin blocks matched together during long-term archiving?
Yes — each Slide-Sette Saver™ unit holds exactly one slide and one corresponding paraffin block in a single container, preserving the association throughout storage, retrieval, and re-sectioning and eliminating the mismatch risk common with separate slide box and block tray systems.
Are these containers compatible with CAP accreditation requirements for specimen archiving?
Laboratories should verify that their specific archiving protocol and retention policy are met; the design is intended to support CAP-compliant histology and surgical pathology workflows.
Why choose red, and are other colors available?
Red enables high-visibility color-coding within multi-color histology storage systems, making it straightforward to designate STAT cases, priority consultations, or specific departments at a glance. Caplugs® Evergreen offers the Slide-Sette Saver™ in additional colors to support full color-coded case management — contact LabSupplies.com for availability.
Are these containers sterile, and can they be autoclaved?
These containers are supplied non-sterile, which is standard for anatomic pathology archival applications. Polypropylene is autoclavable as a material class; however, autoclaving is not a stated feature of this product and is not required for routine slide and block storage workflows.
