Slide Drying Rack Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Slide Drying Rack (Product Code: SLE/CL/53) is a self-supporting stand that holds freshly stained microscopy slides upright while they air-dry, so smears are not smudged, stuck together or left lying in pooled stain before examination. Pathology benches, hospital laboratories and college microbiology practicals use it whenever smears are stained in batches, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a practical part of any microbiology lab setup in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Once a Gram, Giemsa or Ziehl-Neelsen stain has been rinsed off, each slide is stood on its edge in one of the numbered slots with all smears facing the same way. Rinse water and residual stain run down onto the blotting paper at the base instead of drying as a film over the cells, and the upright position lets air reach both faces of the glass. Because every slot carries a number, the technician can note which patient or student sample sits in which position and then read the slides in that order under the microscope.

Change the blotting paper once it is coloured or saturated so that dye cannot wick back onto the slide edges, and wipe the plexiglass with a damp cloth and a mild detergent after each session. The rack is equally at home in a teaching lab and on a small diagnostic bench, making it useful microbiology lab equipment in India wherever slides are stained several at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many slides does the rack hold at one time?
It holds 12 microscopy slides, each in its own numbered position. For larger staining runs several racks can be used side by side; ask us for a multi-unit quotation.

What is the rack made of?
Heat-stable plastic (plexiglass) with a sturdy base. Clean it with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth; abrasive pads can scratch the surface.

Why does it use blotting paper?
The slides stand vertically on a replaceable blotting paper strip that soaks up run-off from the stained slides. Please ask us whether replacement sheets can be included with your order.

Can unstained or freshly washed slides be dried in it?
Yes, as long as they fit the slots, although the rack is described specifically for drying coloured (stained) slides. Heat-fixing over a flame should be done before the slide goes into the rack, never in it.

Is a warranty or test report provided?
Warranty terms and any documents you need are confirmed at quotation stage. Please raise them through our contact page.

What details should a college or hospital include when requesting a quote?
