The BxBoard offers several improvements over traditional specimen containers:

• Efficient Fixation: Uses a hydrophilic sponge saturated with 3 mL of 10% NBF for even and active diffusion, speeding up the fixation process while maintaining biomolecular integrity.
• Enhanced Design: Features an airtight environment that uses formalin gas to assist in even specimen fixation, reducing specimen cancellation rates significantly (4% for BxBoard vs. 13% for bottles).
• Visibility and Identification:
  • Transparent, form-fitting lid allows for easy specimen identification without opening.
  • Color-coded casings enhance visibility and reduce labeling errors.
• Environmental and Safety Benefits:
  • Reduces the number of required specimen containers, lowering potential for spillage.
  • Minimizes NBF exposure risks in handling and transport due to absorbed liquid in the sponge.
  • Snap-on lid design eliminates risks associated with mis-threading lids on traditional containers.
