Biopsy Bottles
Free!
Biopsy bottles are leak-resistant plastic containers for collecting and transporting tissue to pathology. The wide mouth protects samples during transfer, while chemical-resistant walls and secure caps work with common fixatives. Available empty or prefilled and in multiple sizes, they improve labeling, safety, and turnaround for clinics and hospitals. Choose them to keep specimens intact, properly fixed, and easy for the lab to process.
Description
Biopsy bottles are secure specimen containers designed to collect, fix, store, and transport tissue from the clinic to the pathology lab. The jars are usually made from chemical-resistant polypropylene or polyethylene with tight, leak-resistant screw caps. A wide mouth allows easy placement of small or irregular tissue without damage. Options include empty bottles for in-house fixatives or prefilled bottles with 10% neutral buffered formalin, selected according to local protocols.
Key features and benefits:
• Wide-mouth opening for safer, gentler specimen transfer
• Leak-resistant caps with inner liner to protect staff and samples
• Plastic walls compatible with common fixatives, including formalin
• Clear body with molded graduations for quick volume checks
• Frosted writing panel for legible labeling and barcodes
• Available in multiple sizes to match biopsy type and transport rules
• Supplied sterile or non-sterile, prefilled or empty, to fit workflow
Typical uses:
• Dermatology, ENT, dental, gynecology, and general surgery biopsies
• Operating rooms and outpatient clinics sending tissue to histology
• Teaching labs and research groups preserving small tissue samples
Compared with generic sample containers, biopsy bottles prioritize wide access, chemical resistance, and reliable sealing to prevent leaks and evaporation. Glass jars offer high clarity but are heavier and breakable; plastic bottles reduce breakage risk and shipping weight while maintaining visibility. Good practice includes clear patient labeling, immediate fixation when required, and secondary packaging for transport according to local biosafety policies.
These bottles support clean handling, accurate labeling, and consistent fixation, helping pathology labs receive intact, well-preserved specimens for confident diagnosis.
