The Caplugs® Evergreen Slide-Sette Saver™ is a single-unit polypropylene container engineered to store one microscope slide and its corresponding paraffin block together, preserving the slide-to-block association that anatomic pathology and histology laboratories depend on for accurate specimen retrieval, case review, re-sectioning, and long-term archival. Supplied non-sterile in bags of 100, part number 240-3800-Y30 is produced in a bright yellow that supports color-coded organization across multi-color workstation storage systems. Made in USA, these containers are BPA-free and lot-numbered to support accreditation traceability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-storing the slide and paraffin block together reduce errors?
Because the slide and its source block are housed in the same single-unit container, there is no opportunity for the two to become separated and reassociated incorrectly during retrieval, re-sectioning, or case review — a meaningful risk-reduction step in busy pathology archives.
Why would a lab choose yellow containers specifically?
Color coding is a common organizational strategy in histology and anatomic pathology: yellow containers can be designated by case type, staining protocol, department, or processing batch, making the correct specimens easy to locate at a glance in a multi-color storage system.
Are these containers suitable for long-term archival storage under CAP requirements?
Polypropylene offers durable, chemically resistant storage appropriate for long-term retention, and the lot-numbered construction supports the traceability documentation required for CAP-accredited laboratories. Confirm your laboratory's specific retention and documentation policies with your accreditation consultant.
Do these fit standard microscope slides and paraffin blocks?
The Slide-Sette Saver™ is designed for standard microscope slides and standard paraffin blocks used in routine histology and surgical pathology workflows. If your laboratory uses non-standard block or slide formats, verify dimensional compatibility before placing a bulk order.
