Slide Storage Boxes
Free!
Slide Storage Boxes securely organize standard microscope slides in numbered slots with a tight, protective lid. They prevent chipping, keep dust away, and make cataloging simple with an included index. Ideal for pathology, research, education, and diagnostic labs. Choose them for reliable protection, fast retrieval, and space-saving, stackable storage across busy, specimen-heavy workflows.
Description
Slide Storage Boxes are protective cases designed to organize and safeguard standard microscope slides (typically 25 x 75 mm). Built from rigid, durable plastic or coated card, each box includes numbered slots or grooves that hold slides upright to prevent chipping and abrasion. A hinged, close-fitting lid keeps out dust and moisture, while an index card on the inside cover makes cataloging quick and reliable. Many models include cork or foam lining to cushion glass during transport and stacking ribs so multiple boxes store neatly.
Key features and benefits:
• Numbered capacity options (commonly 25, 50, or 100 slides) for systematic archiving
• Rigid, break-resistant body that shields glass edges from impact
• Tight lid with labeling area and index card for traceable records
• Low-lint lining (cork or foam) helps reduce scratches and slide movement
• Smooth slots that accept slides with or without coverslips
• Color options to code by project, date, or department
• Stackable design for space-efficient shelves and drawers
Typical uses and industries:
• Histology, cytology, and pathology labs for routine case work and long-term retention
• Research institutes and universities where large sets of slides are prepared and referenced
• Hospitals and diagnostic centers for secure transport between benches and archive rooms
• Environmental, food, and pharmaceutical labs needing clean, labeled storage
Compared with simple slide mailers or cardboard folders, slide storage boxes provide better impact protection, faster retrieval using numbered slots, and cleaner conditions for long-term archiving. For facilities with strict hygiene practices, polypropylene variants can be washed and, where suitable, sterilized using standard lab protocols. Choose slide storage boxes to keep specimens organized, traceable, and protected from bench to archive.
