Slide Box, PS

The GISCOM Slide Box, PS is a robust, precision-moulded storage container designed to safely organise, protect, and transport standard 1″ × 3″ microscope slides. Constructed from high-grade polystyrene, it offers excellent rigidity and resistance to warping, ensuring long-term security of delicate samples. Widely used in teaching, clinical diagnostics, and research environments, it provides reliable slide management for high-volume laboratory operations.

 Key Features

• Heavy-wall, impact-resistant body prevents cracking, warping, or splintering under routine lab use.
• Numbered index inside the base for quick and systematic slide identification.
• Precision grooved slots hold each slide firmly in position to avoid breakage or abrasion.
• Hinged, tight-locking lid protects slides against dust, humidity, and insect damage.
• Compact, stackable design optimises bench space and storage efficiency.
• Stable performance in humid environments—material remains unaffected by moisture.
• Lightweight yet durable, ideal for transport within labs or between facilities.
