Frequently Asked Questions
What goes inside each position — slides, blocks, or both?
Each of the 20 positions is designed to hold one Slide-Sette Saver™ container, which itself stores a paired microscope slide and paraffin block together as a single unit. This means one box can house up to 20 complete paired sets.
Are these boxes autoclavable?
The source data does not specify autoclave clearance for these storage boxes. Because they are intended for dry archival storage of fixed specimens rather than wet processing, autoclaving is not a typical requirement; consult your laboratory's protocol or contact LabSupplies.com for further guidance.
Why choose white over other available colors?
White offers maximum contrast for printed or handwritten labels on the exterior, making case and batch identification fast and reliable. In multi-color archive systems, white boxes can be assigned to a specific department, year, or specimen type as part of a broader color-coding scheme.
Do these boxes meet traceability requirements for accredited labs?
Yes — the boxes are lot-numbered, which supports documentation and traceability workflows in laboratories operating under CAP or CLIA accreditation standards.
