Frequently Asked Questions

Is a base required for the Globe Scientific 513500 slide cabinet?

One base is required for each new column of stacked cabinets. Without a base, the bottom cabinet rests directly on the floor surface, which may expose it to moisture or cleaning chemicals. The 513503 base elevates and stabilizes the entire stack at LabSupplies.com.

How many cabinets can be stacked on a single 513503 base?

Up to 10 Globe Scientific 513500 slide storage cabinets can be secured together on a single 513503 base, providing organized storage for up to 45,000 microscope slides per column. The interlocking cabinet design prevents lateral movement throughout the stack.

Do the cabinet base colors match the slide cabinet colors?

Yes, the 513503 base is available in the same green, tan, and white finishes as the 513500 cabinet series. LabSupplies.com recommends ordering matching colors for a uniform professional appearance in your slide library or specimen archive.
