FAQ

What are alcohol swabs used for?

In the lab, an alcohol swab wipes the rubber stopper of a vial before a needle goes through it, to keep the stopper clean. They are also used on small work surfaces.

How many swabs come in a box?

One box holds 100 individually sealed swabs. Smaller quantities also come in the starter kits and supply bundles.

What size is the sharps container?

The container on this page holds 1 L. A 250 mL container is included in the BAC water 4-piece supply kit.

What goes in a sharps container?

Used insulin syringes, pen needles, transfer needles and anything else sharp. Do not overfill it; close the lid once it reaches the fill line.

How do I dispose of a full sharps container?

Close and lock the lid, then follow your state or local council's rules. Many councils and pharmacies accept sealed sharps containers.
