Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100-place microscope slide box?
A 100-place microscope slide box holds up to 100 standard 25×75mm (1×3-inch) microscope slides in individually numbered grooved slots. Histology and pathology laboratories use them for organized, dust-free storage of tissue specimen slides. Globe Scientific 513079 boxes feature cork lining for added protection at LabSupplies.com.
What is the difference between cork-lined and foam-lined slide boxes?
Cork lining provides firmer, more durable cushioning than foam and resists degradation over time. Unlike foam, cork does not compress permanently after repeated use, maintaining consistent slide grip across years of storage. Globe Scientific cork-lined boxes protect specimens more reliably for long-term archival applications.
How many colors are available for the Globe Scientific 513079?
The 513079 is available in seven individual colors: gray, blue, dark gray, orange, red, white, and yellow. An assorted five-color pack (SKU 513079AST) is also available. LabSupplies.com stocks all options for color-coded departmental specimen management systems.
