What This Organizer Stores
This mobile organizer is designed for microscope slides. It stores standard 1-inch by 3-inch glass slides used in pathology and research laboratories.
Item Specification Product Name Mobile Pathology Slide Organizer Model HNG-Mobile-Slide-BOS Total Slide Capacity Approximately 55,000 slides Number of Drawers 36 drawers total Drawers per Section 9 drawers Number of Sections 4 sections stacked Single Section Size H360mm x W515mm x D480mm Total Cabinet Size (with base) H1520mm x W515mm x D480mm Base Type Mobile base with silent heavy-duty casters Caster Configuration 4 casters total, 2 with locks Drawer Interior Depth 475mm Drawer Interior Width 495mm Drawer Interior Height Approximately 75mm The cabinet ships as four stackable sections. Each section contains nine drawers. The mobile base is included—this is not a fixed cabinet with optional casters, but a complete mobile unit designed for movement.
Key Features
1. Four-Section Stackable Design
The organizer consists of four stackable sections. Each section measures H360mm x W515mm x D480mm. When stacked on the mobile base, the total height is 1520mm—approximately 60 inches.
Why stackable matters for Boston labs:
You can start with one or two sections and expand later
Sections are easier to ship and move than one large cabinet
If you move to a new lab, the sections can be separated for transport
You can mix with block storage sections if needed
The sections interlock securely. No tools are required for stacking.
2. Mobile Base with Silent Heavy-Duty Casters
The mobile base is the key feature of this organizer. It is not an afterthought or an optional add-on. It is a stainless steel base fitted with four heavy-duty casters designed specifically for laboratory use.
Caster specifications:
Wheel diameter: 2 inches (50mm) standard
Material: Hard rubber or polyurethane—smooth rolling, floor-friendly
Weight capacity: Rated for the fully loaded cabinet (several hundred pounds)
Swivel: Front casters swivel for steering
Locks: Two casters have foot-operated brakes to lock the cabinet in place
Noise: Silent operation—no squeaking or rattling
The casters are mounted securely to the stainless steel base. They roll smoothly over laboratory flooring, including vinyl, tile, and sealed concrete.
3. Flexible Layout Capability
Boston bio-labs often need to reconfigure space. New equipment arrives. Workflows change. Research groups expand or contract. Fixed cabinets become obstacles.
With the mobile organizer, you can:
Roll the cabinet to where it is needed for a specific project
Move it against a wall when not in use
Create temporary workspace by relocating storage
Rearrange the entire lab layout without hiring movers
Clean floors thoroughly by moving cabinets aside
The mobile base gives you options that fixed cabinets cannot provide.
4. Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Despite being mobile, this is not a lightweight cabinet. It is built from cold-rolled steel plate, the same material used in fixed industrial cabinets.
Construction details:
Thickened cold-rolled steel throughout
Strong enough to hold 55,000 slides without flexing
Rigid construction—no racking or twisting when moved
Built to last 20+ years in daily use
The steel construction ensures that the cabinet remains stable during movement. Drawers do not bind or stick after being rolled.
5. Stainless Steel Mobile Base
The base itself is stainless steel, not painted mild steel. This provides:
Corrosion resistance—important for labs using chemicals
Durability—stainless steel does not rust or peel
Easy cleaning—wipe up spills without worrying about paint damage
Professional appearance—matches other stainless lab equipment
The base is welded and reinforced to handle the full weight of four stacked sections.
6. 36-Drawer Configuration
The 9-drawer per section design provides 36 total drawers. This configuration is ideal for slide storage because:
Each drawer is shallow enough to prevent overloading
Drawers are easy to open and close when full
You can organize slides across many small drawers rather than a few large ones
Labeling is more specific with 36 individual drawers
7. Anti-Fallout Safety Device
Every drawer has a metal anti-fallout device. This prevents the drawer from being pulled completely out of the cabinet. When you open a drawer fully, it stops at a safe point. No risk of dumping thousands of slides onto the floor.
This safety feature is especially important in a mobile cabinet. If the cabinet is moved with a drawer partially open (not recommended), the anti-fallout device provides an extra layer of protection.
8. Large Label Frames
Each drawer has a large stamped metal label frame. Features:
Made from durable aluminum alloy
Large enough for clear labeling
Easy to insert and remove paper labels
Accepts cardstock or laminated inserts
Label drawers by project number, tissue type, or date range. Change labels easily as contents change.
9. Aluminum Handles
The drawer handles are solid aluminum. They are:
Comfortable to grip
Professional appearance
Durable and long-lasting
Attached with anti-scratch screws
The screws have a protective coating that will not scratch the cabinet finish.
10. Smooth Ball Bearing Slides
Each drawer operates on solid steel ball bearing slides. Benefits:
Smooth, quiet operation
Strong load-bearing capacity
Full extension for easy access
Consistent performance over years of use
The slides are rated for the full weight of slides.
11. Electrostatic Spray Finish
The steel finish is applied using electrostatic spraying. This process:
Electrically bonds paint to the metal
Ensures even coverage
Resists scratching and chipping
Withstands high temperatures
Resists common lab chemicals
The finish is baked at high temperature for maximum durability.

Country of Origin China Pricing Factory wholesale—contact for quote Slide Capacity Explained
The 55,000-slide capacity is based on standard slide storage trays. Here is how the numbers work:
Tray Type Slides per Tray Trays per Drawer Slides per Drawer Total Slides (36 drawers) Standard 100-slide tray 100 15 1,500 54,000 Standard 100-slide tray (thin profile) 100 18 1,800 64,800 Standard 200-slide tray 200 8 1,600 57,600 Most labs use standard 100-slide trays. With 15 trays per drawer, you get 1,500 slides per drawer. The 55,000 figure is a reliable average for typical configurations.
Drawer Interior Dimensions
Understanding the drawer interior dimensions helps you select the right slide trays:
Dimension Measurement Notes Width 495mm Accommodates most standard slide trays Depth 475mm Allows trays up to 470mm to fit easily Height Approximately 75mm Enough for stacked trays or taller storage Standard slide trays are typically designed to fit cabinets with these dimensions. If you are using trays from a specific manufacturer, check their dimensions against these numbers.
Why Mobile Storage for Boston Bio-Labs?
Boston's biotech and research landscape is dynamic. Here is why mobile storage makes sense:
Space Constraints
Laboratory space in Boston is expensive. Facilities in Kendall Square, the Longwood Medical Area, and other research hubs often pay premium rates per square foot. Mobile storage lets you use space flexibly—roll cabinets together when you need floor space, separate them when you need access.Frequent Reconfiguration
Research priorities change. New grants bring new projects. Equipment gets upgraded. Lab layouts that made sense five years ago may not work today. Mobile cabinets can be repositioned without calling facilities or moving crews.Shared Resources
Many Boston labs share equipment and storage. A mobile slide organizer can be rolled to the microscope room when someone needs to review cases, then rolled back to the archive area. One cabinet serves multiple locations.Historic Buildings
Some Boston institutions occupy older buildings with unusual layouts. Fixed cabinets may not fit well. Mobile units can be positioned where they fit best and moved if the configuration changes.Cleaning and Maintenance
Infection control and lab cleanliness require thorough floor cleaning. Mobile cabinets can be moved to allow complete access to floor areas. No more dust accumulation in hard-to-reach spots.How the Mobile Base Works
The mobile base is designed for practical daily use:
Moving the Cabinet
Ensure all drawers are fully closed
Release the two locking casters by stepping on the lock tabs
Push or pull the cabinet from the sides (not the drawers)
Roll to the desired location
Step on the lock tabs to engage both brakes
Verify the cabinet is stable before opening drawers
Weight Distribution
The base is engineered to distribute weight evenly. Even with all four sections fully loaded, the cabinet rolls smoothly. The casters are positioned at the corners for maximum stability.Floor Protection
The casters are made of hard rubber or polyurethane, not hard plastic. They will not mark or damage laboratory flooring. They roll quietly without squeaking.Locking Mechanism
The foot-operated locks are easy to engage and disengage. They hold the cabinet firmly in place. Once locked, the cabinet will not roll accidentally.Boston Bio-Lab Applications
Biotech Startups
Young companies often move or expand rapidly. Mobile cabinets can be relocated easily when the company moves to larger space. No need to sell and repurchase storage.Academic Research Labs
Multiple researchers share storage. Mobile cabinets can be positioned near workstations during active projects, then consolidated when projects end.Contract Research Organizations
CROs handle projects for multiple clients. Mobile storage lets you reconfigure lab space for each new project. Roll client-specific storage into position as needed.Hospital Pathology Departments
Boston teaching hospitals process high volumes of slides. Mobile cabinets can be moved between processing areas, review stations, and long-term storage.Core Facilities
Shared core facilities serve many users. Mobile slide storage can be rolled to different workstations depending on who is using the space.Teaching Laboratories
Medical and graduate students need access to teaching slide collections. Mobile cabinets can be positioned in classroom areas during sessions, then rolled to secure storage afterward.

How you organize slides inside the drawers depends on your workflow:
By Project Number
For research labs, organize by project or grant number. Keep all slides from one study together.By Year and Case Number
Store slides by year, then by case number within each year. Common in clinical settings.By Tissue Type
Group slides by organ system or tissue type. Useful for research archives and teaching collections.By Researcher
In shared labs, assign drawers to specific researchers. Each person manages their own slides.By Date
Arrange slides chronologically by processing date. Easy to locate recent additions.Mixed Storage
Use some drawers for slides, others for related records. All drawers are the same size.OEM/ODM Customization

Assembly
The cabinet ships in four sections plus the mobile base. Assembly steps:
Install casters on the mobile base if not pre-installed (simple bolt-on)
Place mobile base on level floor. Engage brakes.
Set first section onto base. It sits securely with interlocking tabs.
Stack second section onto first. Align carefully.
Continue with third and fourth sections.
Test all drawers for smooth operation.
Release brakes and test mobility.
Two people should lift each section into place. Sections are heavy but manageable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How stable is the cabinet when fully loaded and rolled on casters?
A: The cabinet is very stable when moved properly. The 1.0mm cold-rolled steel construction provides rigidity—the cabinet does not flex or twist when rolled. The casters are heavy-duty and positioned at the corners for maximum stability. However, you should always ensure all drawers are fully closed before moving the cabinet. Move slowly and carefully, especially over thresholds or uneven surfaces. Once positioned, engage both locking casters to prevent any movement. The cabinet is designed for occasional repositioning, not for constant daily rolling across long distances.
Q: Will the casters damage my laboratory flooring?
A: No, the casters are designed specifically for laboratory flooring. They are made of hard rubber or polyurethane, which are floor-friendly materials that will not mark or damage vinyl, tile, or sealed concrete. The wheels roll smoothly without squeaking. However, you should keep the casters clean. If debris becomes embedded in the wheels, it could mark floors. Regular inspection and cleaning prevent this. If you have specialized flooring, let us know and we can discuss alternative caster materials.
Q: Can I order this cabinet with fewer than four sections?
A: Yes, you can. The mobile base is designed to accommodate one, two, three, or four sections. If you order fewer than four sections, the cabinet will be shorter, but it will still be stable on the mobile base. You can also add sections later as your slide collection grows. The sections are identical and stack securely regardless of how many you have. Please specify the number of sections you need when ordering, and we will provide pricing accordingly. The mobile base is the same regardless of section count.
