Slide Staining Jar with Lid, PMP — Hellendahl (8-Slide) & Schifferdecker (10-Slide) Types, Sold Each The Globe Scientific Slide Staining Jar with Lid is molded from polymethylpentene (PMP) for clear, chemically durable bench staining of microscope slides. Designed for histology, cytology, and routine H&E or special-stain protocols, these jars hold slides vertically for uniform reagent exposure. The fitted lid limits solvent evaporation and contamination during timed immersion steps.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the Hellendahl and Schifferdecker jar types? The Hellendahl jar (513209) holds 8 slides in a narrow vertical format that minimizes reagent volume, while the Schifferdecker jar (513210) holds 10 slides and accommodates higher throughput per staining step. Can these PMP jars be autoclaved? Yes. Polymethylpentene tolerates standard autoclave cycles, so jars and lids can be steam-sterilized between protocols. Allow full cooling before reuse to prevent thermal stress. Are these jars suitable for xylene-based clearing steps? PMP offers limited resistance to aromatic and chlorinated solvents. For xylene clearing, restrict exposure to short timed steps or select xylene-free substitutes for prolonged immersion. How are these jars sold? Each SKU is sold individually — one jar with lid per pack. The listed price is per single unit. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Slide Staining Jar with Lid, PMP — Hellendahl & Schifferdecker Types", "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "Globe Scientific" }, "material": "Polymethylpentene (PMP)", "sku": [ "513209", "513210" ], "offers": { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "priceCurrency": "USD", "lowPrice": "109.20", "highPrice": "128.00", "offerCount": 2 } } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the difference between the Hellendahl and Schifferdecker jar types?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The Hellendahl jar (513209) holds 8 slides in a narrow vertical format that minimizes reagent volume, while the Schifferdecker jar (513210) holds 10 slides and accommodates higher throughput per staining step." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can these PMP jars be autoclaved?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes.
