[Histonet] Wet cassette transport containers?

[Fischer, R. B]

Tim,
     We have also been using the locking plastic containers that have a
rubber gasket around the lid. We place the Sakura rack inside of this
container and then place it in a larger container of the same design and
this is placed in a third container or an ice chest with formalin
neutralizing pads. The spillage if slight is well contained.

Subject: [Histonet] Wet cassette transport containers?

Hi,

We're looking for rectangular containers to transport Sakura tissue
processor cassette baskets filled with wet-tissue cassettes. The
container has to be water-tight as it will have formalin in it. Is
anyone using a container that fits those criteria? Everything we've
tried so far leaks (various plastic locking food containers, locking
water-tight equipment containers). They have to be leak proof despite
being tilted or turned sideways for 30-60 minutes during transport.

Thanks for any help!
