Quincy 100SCKB Beige Steel Slide Cabinet 5000 Slides Stackable

Description

Product Overview

The Quincy 100SCKB Beige Steel Slide Cabinet is engineered for demanding laboratory settings where reliability, organization, and durability are paramount. Constructed from heavy gauge steel, the cabinet features a baked‑on enamel finish that resists corrosion, chemical splashes, and everyday wear, ensuring a professional appearance that endures for years. Its compact footprint—measuring 18.75″ length, 15.75″ width, and just under 5″ height—makes it suitable for benchtop placement or low‑profile shelving, while the sturdy construction supports a substantial load of up to 5,000 standard 3″ by 1″ glass slides.

Each unit includes six individual drawers, each equipped with either black phenolic pull knobs or steel handles, providing a tactile, secure grip that facilitates quick access to stored slides. The drawers are designed with a built‑in retention system that prevents accidental disengagement, yet they can be easily removed for off‑bench work when needed. This flexibility allows technicians to transport slides to workstations without compromising the integrity of the storage system.

Stackability is a core feature of the 100SCKB series. Interlocking tabs on the top and bottom of each cabinet enable seamless vertical stacking, creating a modular storage solution that can be expanded as laboratory needs evolve. The modular design also simplifies inventory management, as each cabinet can be individually labeled or bar‑coded for precise tracking.

Beyond its functional attributes, the cabinet’s aesthetic—clean beige enamel against a sleek steel frame—integrates smoothly into a wide range of lab décor styles, from classic to contemporary. The neutral color reduces visual clutter while the robust steel construction conveys a sense of stability and trustworthiness, essential qualities for environments where precision and safety are non‑negotiable.

Overall, the Quincy 100SCKB delivers a balanced combination of form and function, offering a high‑capacity slide storage solution that does not sacrifice space efficiency, durability, or ease of use. Whether outfitting a new research facility or upgrading an existing laboratory, this cabinet provides a reliable foundation for slide management and sample organization.

Usage

Designed for a variety of scientific disciplines, the cabinet excels in chemistry, biology, pathology, and materials science laboratories where glass slide handling is routine. Its robust construction makes it suitable for high‑traffic areas, such as teaching labs, where students frequently retrieve and replace slides during experiments. The six‑drawer configuration allows users to separate slides by project, specimen type, or experimental phase, streamlining workflow and reducing the time spent searching for specific samples.

In addition to traditional bench use, the cabinet’s removable drawers enable technicians to transport slides to microscopes, workstations, or field sites without exposing the slides to dust or accidental drops. The interlocking stacking capability is especially valuable in space‑constrained environments, allowing multiple cabinets to be stacked vertically while maintaining easy access to each drawer’s contents.

Because the cabinet is constructed from steel with a baked‑on enamel coating, it tolerates routine cleaning with mild detergents and is resistant to common laboratory chemicals, making it a hygienic choice for environments that require strict cleanliness standards. The neutral beige finish also minimizes glare under bright laboratory lighting, reducing visual strain during prolonged slide handling sessions.

FAQ

What slide sizes are compatible with this cabinet?

The cabinet is designed to accommodate standard 3″ by 1″ glass slides, which are the most common size used in biological and chemical laboratories. It can also store slides of similar dimensions, provided they fit within the drawer depth and width specifications.

Can the cabinet be used in a chemical fume hood?

Yes. The steel body and enamel coating are resistant to typical laboratory chemicals, and the cabinet’s compact size allows it to be placed inside standard fume hoods without obstructing airflow. However, it should not be used for storing highly corrosive substances that could damage the enamel finish.

Is the cabinet compatible with barcode labeling systems?

Absolutely. The exterior panels provide a smooth surface suitable for adhesive barcode labels or RFID tags. This facilitates inventory tracking and integration with laboratory management software for efficient sample management.

How many cabinets can be safely stacked?

The interlocking tabs are engineered to support stacking of up to six cabinets in a vertical column, assuming the stacked units are evenly loaded. For installations exceeding this height, it is recommended to consult a structural engineer or Quincy support to ensure safety.

What is the warranty coverage for this product?

Quincy offers a limited one‑year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, including the enamel finish and drawer mechanisms. Should any issue arise within the warranty period, contact our support team for a replacement part or a full unit, depending on the nature of the defect.
