Product Overview

The Boekel Scientific Tissue Cassette Storage Cabinet (model 1198R52EA) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments. Constructed from high‑grade steel, the cabinet offers a robust yet lightweight solution for the secure storage of tissue cassettes, slide trays, and related consumables. Its compact dimensions—10.08 inches wide, 16.14 inches deep, and 16.18 inches high—allow it to fit comfortably on standard lab benches, in cabinets, or on mobile carts without sacrificing internal capacity. The cabinet features a smooth‑finished interior that resists corrosion and is easy to clean, ensuring that specimens remain free from contaminants. A reinforced door with a secure latch provides added protection against accidental opening, while the ergonomic handle offers effortless access for users wearing gloves or working in sterile conditions. The product dimensions and weight (approximately one pound) make it simple to relocate as workflow patterns evolve, and the sturdy construction guarantees a long service life even under frequent use. Designed with a focus on practicality, the cabinet includes pre‑drilled mounting holes for optional wall‑mounting or integration into larger storage systems, giving laboratories the flexibility to customize their storage solutions.

Usage

This storage cabinet is ideally suited for a wide range of laboratory settings, including pathology labs, histology suites, research institutions, and teaching facilities. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for bench‑top organization, where space is at a premium and quick access to specimens is essential. The cabinet can be employed to store standard tissue cassettes, micro‑tome trays, and small containers of reagents, keeping them neatly arranged and readily available during routine procedures. In high‑throughput environments, the cabinet’s durable steel construction withstands the daily rigors of frequent opening and closing, while the secure latch ensures that cassettes remain in place during transport between workstations. The cabinet also serves well in field research scenarios where portability and durability are critical; its lightweight design allows technicians to carry it between mobile labs, and the corrosion‑resistant finish protects contents from harsh environmental conditions. Whether used in a clinical pathology department processing biopsy samples, a university laboratory conducting histological research, or a veterinary clinic managing animal tissue specimens, this cabinet provides a reliable, organized storage solution that supports efficient workflow and maintains sample integrity.
