Frequently asked questions
Does this container offer a secure leak-resistant seal?
Yes, each container is designed with a secure screw-cap closure. This robust design is specifically engineered to prevent leakage, ensuring the safe transport of clinical specimens from the point of collection to the laboratory.
Is the material durable enough for clinical transport?
Absolutely. The container is constructed from high-quality, transparent polypropylene. This material provides a durable, rigid structure suitable for the rigors of medical research and pathology environments while remaining clear for easy visual inspection.
Does it come with pre-labeled safety information?
Yes, each unit features a prominently applied warning label. This ensures you remain compliant with laboratory safety regulations. The label includes:
- Standardized medical hazard symbols.
- Essential chemical warnings.
- Dedicated sections for recording patient identifiers, date, and specimen details.
How much extra space is available for large specimens?
While the container is prefilled with 500 mL of 10% neutral buffered formalin, it has a total capacity of 1,000 mL (32 oz.). This provides ample headroom (500 mL of additional volume) for your specimens and fixative displacement.
Can I easily monitor the specimen volume?
Yes, the container features integrated graduated markings on the side. These allow for precise volume reference and monitoring during your laboratory workflow.
Is the formalin solution ready for immediate use?
It is designed for maximum efficiency. Being prefilled with 500 mL of 10% neutral buffered formalin, it eliminates the need for manual pouring, saving preparation time and reducing your exposure to concentrated chemicals.
Is this product made in the United States?
Yes, this product is manufactured in the United States and is fully TAA compliant for use in facilities requiring such standards.
What specific precautions should be taken when using this?
Because the solution contains Formaldehyde and Methyl Alcohol, it is critical to follow these safety protocols:
- Wear appropriate PPE at all times during handling.
- Carefully read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided by the manufacturer before use.
- Adhere to standard laboratory safety procedures for chemical fixatives.
Is this container suitable for histology applications?
Yes, it is perfectly suited for histology. The 10% neutral buffered formalin solution is the standard fixative used to prevent tissue autolysis and putrefaction, making this an ideal tool for biopsy and surgical specimen storage.
Is this a disposable product?
Yes, this container is intended for single-use (disposable) purposes to ensure the integrity of samples and minimize the risk of cross-contamination in the laboratory.
