Frequently asked questions
Does this system provide reliable specimen protection?
Yes. Each unit is constructed from heavy-duty, wax-coated corrugated paper. This specialized coating provides essential moisture resistance, ensuring that your sensitive biological specimens remain protected and maintain their integrity during long-term storage.
Can these files handle heavy archival loads?
Absolutely. Despite being a lightweight alternative to metal, these units are incredibly robust. They have been rigorously pressure-tested up to 300 lbs, providing the structural integrity needed for reliable, permanent archival storage.
Is it easy to organize slides within the drawers?
Yes, the system is designed for professional efficiency. Each unit features four dedicated drawers that can house a total of 2,000 slides. Furthermore, the exterior of each unit includes pre-printed labeling fields for ‘Department,’ ‘Specimen,’ and ‘Year,’ making systematic record-keeping straightforward.
Can I stack multiple units to save space?
Yes. The Micromate system features a locking tag system specifically engineered for secure vertical stacking. This allows you to maximize your laboratory’s floor or shelf space by creating stable, organized columns of storage.
Does this replace the need for metal cabinets?
Yes, it is designed as a direct, practical, and cost-effective alternative to heavy metal filing cabinets. By using these units, you can eliminate the capital expenditure of expensive metal furniture while simultaneously streamlining your workflow by avoiding the need to transfer slides between temporary and permanent files.
Are these suitable for high-volume research environments?
Yes, they are ideal for histology, cytology, and pathology laboratories. Because they are designed for permanent, long-term storage, they excel in environments where high-volume archival of glass slides is a standard daily requirement.
How many units are included in one order?
Each order is provided as a case containing 10 individual Micromate Microscope Slide Storage File Systems, ensuring you have enough capacity to organize a large collection of specimens immediately.
Is the material durable enough for daily use?
Yes. The construction utilizes high-quality, wax-coated corrugated paper that is engineered for the rigors of a clinical setting. It is built to be a permanent storage solution that stands up to frequent drawer access while keeping the contents secure.
Does this unit simplify the lab workflow?
Yes, it optimizes workflow by functioning as a complete, end-to-end archival solution. You can file your slides directly into the Micromate system, removing the labor-intensive and error-prone process of moving specimens from temporary boxes to final storage files.
Is the design compact enough for smaller laboratories?
Yes. The units feature a compact four-drawer configuration that prioritizes storage density. By utilizing vertical stacking, even smaller laboratories can archive up to 2,000 slides per unit in a very minimal footprint.
