BxBoard®

BxBoard

Preserve tissue quality and increase cancer detection rates with tissue-handling devices for the clinic and lab.

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.
