Polystyrene Hinged Slide Storage Boxes
Manufacturer: United Scientific
The United Scientific Polystyrene Slide Storage Boxes offer a high-clarity, rigid solution for the organization and long-term protection of standard 3 in x 1 in microscope slides. Finished in a distinct Aqua color, these boxes are designed for quick identification in a crowded laboratory or storage cabinet. Each box is engineered with the researcher's workflow in mind, featuring engraved numbers at the base of each slide slot.

Features:
- Unlike printed numbers that can fade or rub off with cleaning, the engraved numbers remain legible for the life of the box.
- Polystyrene provides a stiffer, more protective shell than traditional flexible plastics, safeguarding delicate glass slides against mechanical pressure.
- The integrated clasp is designed for frequent use, ensuring the lid stays closed even if the box is stored vertically or transported between facilities.
- The Aqua color-coding and provided ID cards help maintain a standardized filing system for pathology, histology, or educational slide sets.
Laboratory Management Insights:
- Material Care: Polystyrene is highly resistant to many aqueous reagents but can be sensitive to certain organic solvents like acetone. For cleaning, use mild detergent or 70% Isopropyl Alcohol to maintain the box's clarity and structural integrity.
- Vertical Archiving: The uniform height (1.25 in) across all sizes allows these boxes to be stacked neatly in drawers or on shelves, maximizing your lab's vertical storage footprint.
- Labeling: Use the Slide Identification Card to record the date and specimen type; this prevents writing directly on the box, allowing it to be repurposed for future projects.
