Plastic containers for formalin-fixed tissues

From:"LEMIRE, TANYA"

Does anyone have any experience with clear plastic contains such as the ones found on the following website:  www.sho-me.com?

 

I contacted the company about using the small containers to store formalin-fixed tissues but they were unable to tell me if the plastic could stand up to 10% formalin.  (One of our techs has extremely small hands and cannot open the traditional opaque plastic contains with yellow lids that are specifically designed for this use.)

 

Thanks in advance,
