Slide-Cassette Storage Unit
 |
Stores cassettes and slide drawers separately
Surgipath, Redmond, Ill, introduces its new, modular Slide-Cassette Storage Unit engineered and designed specifically for short- and long-term storage of microscope slides and paraffin-embedded cassettes. The modular design allows for stacking cassette and slide drawers into a single unit or segregated such that cassette storage and slide storage are completely separate. A base with lockable casters provides mobility to the unit should it become necessary to move the unit in the laboratory or to a storage area. The unit features multidrawer cassette/slide storage, an optional caster base (four casters, front two are lockable), robust construction, metal finger pulls, label insets on drawers, special plastic on rail inserts, and a work/organizer tray. The unit can be used in any laboratory that stores microscope slides or Histology case blocks.
