Please note unless otherwise advised, slide boxes on this page accommodate standard 1 x 3 inch slides.

Slide box essentials: correct size, tough and economical are first considerations. Special requirements may be plastic or metal hinges and clasp, particular colours, lightproof (for that chose a dark box and tape openings and wrap in aluminium foil). The most practical plastic for slide boxes is ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ); it's very tough, it's brittleness point is ‐20°C and its usable to 70°C.

Cryo storage: For storage in an ultra deep freezer we recommend PC (polycarbonate), which is whimsically known as bulletproof glass. This material loses its superior strength once it's been heated above 50°C, but it will retain similar strength compared with other plastics. PC may be heated to 125°C ‐ its autoclavable. More importantly, the PC brittleness point is at ‐100°C. Plastics can be used well below the brittleness point, but they are subject to cracking from minor impacts. We recommend our PC slide boxes for ultra low cryo applications. PST also offer PC boxes for cryo tube storage ‐ see page Y1

Polycarbonate construction, this strongest of plastics makes for a most durable slide box. It has durable hinges and a stainless steel latch. The Cryo Compatible Slide Box, protects your 3" x 1" (75 x 25mm) slides in ultra-low temperature range. Polycarbonate's brittleness point is at -100°C, but these boxes may be used down to -195°C, except that below brittleness point they are less impact tolerant.
The slide box provides a 100-slide capacity with grooved slots to prevent slide to slide contact. The Cryo Compatible Slide Box offers a permanent identification sheet in the hinged lid, that corresponds to the numbering on the temperature-resistant foam lining in the base. These features provide ideal inventory maintenance ability. The boxes are stackable and can be autoclaved.
