containers for formalin fixed tissues
Dear Tanya,
I buy most of my containers from Industrial
Containers & Suppy in Salt Lake City, UT. Their phone number is
801-972-1561. There is no minimum $100 order like Show-Me requires and the
containers are extremely inexpensive.
Formalin can go into polystyrene containers (clear
plastic) as well as polypropylene and polyethylene (white or
natural). When you call them just describe what you want and you will be
surprised at the price. They also sell glass containers if needed. I
buy all sized containers from them with the most used in our lab is the 16 oz
snap top natural polypropylene (cottage cheese container).
For those who work with plastics like
methylmethacryalte and glycol methacrylate, these containers work really well
also as infiltrating or mixing containers. HOWEVER, they must be
polypropylene (PP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Tanya, hope this helps.
Cathy
