Frequently Asked Questions
What slide size do these folders accept?
Each folder holds 20 standard 1" x 3" (25 x 75 mm) microscope slides in individually numbered positions, the dimensions used for most histology and cytology preparations.
Are the folders sold individually or by the case?
Both options are listed. The "-1" SKUs ship as a single folder for $32.50, while the base SKUs ship as a case of 12 folders for $316.80.
Why are the lids clear?
The SAN hinged lid is transparent so technicians can read slide labels and confirm contents without opening the folder, reducing handling of archived specimens.
Can colors be used for departmental coding?
Yes. Five colors — yellow, white, green, blue, and gray — let labs assign folders by department, project, or date for fast visual sorting.
