September 2016—Leica Biosystems added four sizes of Surgipath AffirmSeal jars. The new sizes, 40 mL, 60 mL, 90 mL, and 120 mL, are offered in multiple packaging configurations. Prefilled with 10 percent neutral buffered formalin, the jars are specifically designed for safe collection and transport of various sized specimens.
The jars feature a plastic mold design that creates two clearly audible and tactile clicks when the lid is properly secured, which provides confirmation that the specimen is secure, helps prevent leakage, and offers an added level of safety from formalin fumes for couriers and technicians.
AffirmSeal jars are made of durable plastic to prevent cracking when inadvertently dropped and comply with 95 kPa pressure testing for safe air shipment and use in pneumatic transport systems.
