Applications
- Anatomic pathology specimen archiving — co-stores slide and paraffin block in a single container to eliminate mismatch risk during long-term storage
- Surgical pathology case retrieval — maintains slide-to-block pairing for rapid, accurate specimen pull from the archive
- Histology laboratory workflows — supports re-sectioning requests by keeping the original block immediately locatable alongside its processed slide
- Cytology specimen management — preserves specimen association across multi-case storage systems
- CAP- and CLIA-accredited laboratory archiving — lot-numbered containers support traceability documentation required during accreditation surveys
- Color-coded departmental or case-type filing — blue containers integrate into multi-color storage schemes for quick visual identification at the shelf

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these containers fit standard microscope slides and paraffin blocks?
Yes — each container is sized for a standard 75 mm × 25 mm microscope slide paired with a standard paraffin block. Confirm compatibility if your laboratory uses non-standard block or slide formats.
Are these containers sterile?
No — the Slide-Sette Saver™ containers are supplied non-sterile. Sterility is not required for paraffin-embedded tissue archiving or standard histology storage workflows.
How does blue color-coding help in the laboratory?
Blue containers can be assigned to a specific case type, department, or accessioning year within a multi-color filing system, allowing staff to locate and retrieve specimens faster without relying solely on labeling.
Are the containers lot-numbered for accreditation purposes?
Yes — each bag is lot-numbered, which supports the material traceability documentation that CAP and CLIA accreditation standards require for specimen storage consumables.
