Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides does each mailer hold?
Each mailer holds two standard 25×75 mm laboratory glass slides, making them well-suited for paired submissions such as H&E plus special stain, duplicate review sets, or teleconsultation companion slides sent together in a single unit.
Are these mailers compatible with standard microscope slides?
Yes — the mailers are designed to accommodate standard 25×75 mm glass microscope slides. Confirm your slide dimensions match this format before ordering, as non-standard or thick slides may require a different mailer size.
Why choose green mailers rather than a single color for all cases?
Color coding allows laboratory staff to visually distinguish slide types, staining protocols, or case categories at a glance during sorting and receipt. Green mailers can be assigned a specific meaning within your facility's workflow — for example, cytology versus surgical pathology — reducing misrouting and improving throughput without relabeling.
Are these mailers sterile, and are they suitable for CAP/CLIA programs?
These mailers are non-sterile, which is standard for slide transport consumables. They are BPA-free and lot-numbered, supporting the traceability requirements of CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 accredited laboratory programs.
