Glass Trough
Detailed Specifications: The glass trough is manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass (Pyrex type). The dimensions are approximately 120mm x 80mm x 60mm, accommodating standard slide racks. The glass thickness is 3mm for durability. The trough has a capacity of approximately 500ml. The interior features rounded corners for easy cleaning. The glass is resistant to thermal shock up to 150°C. The product is autoclavable at 121°C for sterilization. The glass is chemically resistant to alcohols, xylene, formalin, and most staining reagents. The trough has a flat, stable base with non-slip properties when wet. The rim is fire-polished for smooth handling and safety. The glass is optically clear with minimal distortion. The product is packaged individually in protective foam. Multiple troughs can be stacked for compact storage. The trough is designed to fit most standard slide racks from major manufacturers.
Glass Trough. The Glass Trough Model MIC-20120 from Micron is a top rated essential accessory for histology and staining laboratories requiring durable, chemically resistant vessels for reagents and staining solutions. Crafted from high-quality borosilicate glass, these troughs offer excellent clarity for monitoring solution levels and specimen visibility. The robust construction resists breakage and thermal shock, making them suitable for routine use in busy laboratory environments. For laboratories seeking the best glass troughs for manual staining procedures, the MIC-20120 delivers exceptional quality and value.
One of the best features of the MIC-20120 glass trough is its chemical resistance and optical clarity. The borosilicate glass construction is resistant to most staining reagents, including xylene, alcohol, and hematoxylin solutions, ensuring long-term durability. The clear glass allows technicians to easily monitor specimen placement and solution levels without removing slides from the trough. The smooth interior surface prevents specimen adhesion and simplifies cleaning between uses. The troughs are designed to accommodate standard slide racks, making them ideal for manual staining protocols. Its combination of durability, clarity, and chemical resistance makes it a top rated glass trough for histology applications.
Micron has designed the MIC-20120 glass trough with practical laboratory needs in mind. The dimensions are optimized to fit standard staining racks, allowing seamless integration into existing manual staining workflows. The thick glass construction provides stability and resistance to tipping, even when fully loaded with slides and solutions. The rounded interior corners eliminate sharp angles where debris can accumulate, simplifying cleaning and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The glass troughs are autoclavable for sterilization when required. For any histology laboratory performing manual staining procedures, the MIC-20120 glass trough provides the durability, clarity, and chemical resistance needed for reliable daily use. Its quality construction and practical design make it one of the best glass troughs available for routine laboratory staining.
