The MEDILAB Slide Draining Tray is a robust ABS plasticware accessory designed for efficient drying, draining, and temporary holding of microscope slides after staining or washing. Its precisely molded slots support smooth forward and backward movement of slides, ensuring safe handling during routine microscopy workflows. Essential for clinical, research, and industrial laboratories, it enhances slide management, minimizes breakage, and improves overall processing efficiency.

 Key Features

• Dual-capacity design accommodating 100 or 200 slides, depending on single or double placement per slot.
• Numeric indexing for rapid slide identification and organised sequencing.
• Well-spaced grooves that allow proper airflow and optimal draining after staining processes.
• Stable, flat base preventing accidental tilting or sliding.
• Smooth ABS finish ensures safe handling without scratching or damaging delicate glass slides.
• Lightweight yet durable for daily laboratory use.
• Chemical-resistant construction, compatible with common staining reagents and cleaning solutions.

 Material Specifications

• Material: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) laboratory-grade plasticware.
• Chemical Resistance: Suitable for exposure to alcohols, buffers, dilute acids/bases, and routine cleaning agents.
• Thermal Properties: Maintains stability under typical laboratory ambient temperatures; low thermal expansion ensures slot alignment remains intact.
• Mechanical Strength: Impact-resistant, rigid structure protects slides from mechanical shock.
• Compliance: Manufactured under ISO-aligned quality systems for consistent performance and safety.

 Technical Specifications

• Slide Capacity: As per the standard size table
• Design: Long rectangular draining tray with precision-moulded, evenly spaced grooves.
• Dimensions: Standard bench-top slide tray dimensions (custom options available on request).
• Accessories Included: Integrated draining slots; optional colour variations available for bulk OEM orders.

Handling & Precautions

• Place the tray on a stable, level surface during use to avoid sliding.
• Clean using mild detergents and soft cloths; avoid abrasives that may scratch the ABS surface.
• Not suitable for autoclaving unless otherwise specified; avoid exposure to temperatures above 55–60°C.
• Do not use with strong oxidizing agents or solvents that may affect plastic integrity.
• Allow slides to drain fully before stacking or transferring to storage racks for long-term preservation.

 Applications

• Clinical pathology labs for drying slides during staining and histology workflows.
• Research laboratories in life sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, and cytology.
• Pharmaceutical and chemical QC/QA departments handling large batches of stained or prepared slides.
• Academic and teaching laboratories for organised slide handling during practical sessions.
• Ideal for processes requiring slide washing, staining, drying, draining, and sorting.
