Description
Staining box is a laboratory staining chamber component intended for microscopy and histology workflows where slides are processed with staining reagents under controlled containment. Supplied as the box unit itself, it forms the base of a staining box assembly used in staining, storage and shipping steps common to histology and microscopy laboratories. The item is offered as a single piece and weighs 1,500 kg, giving a stable footprint on the bench during multi-step staining sequences. Designed for integration with matching staining accessories, it supports organised handling of microscope slides when reagents are applied, rinsed or held between protocol stages. This staining box comes from manufacturer DWK Life Sciences and sits within the broader labware range for staining racks and chambers. It is suited to routine histological staining stations, teaching laboratories and research histology suites that require a dedicated chamber body for slide processing. Use it as the structural box element when assembling or replacing staining box systems for consistent slide orientation and reagent containment during staining procedures.

Questions about Staining box, box, 1 pc
What is this article?
Staining box, box, 1 pc is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences for laboratory use. It sits in Microscope slides & cover glasses, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A slide is the glass a specimen sits on. A cover glass is the thin sheet over it, of a thickness the objective was designed for. A cover glass of the wrong thickness softens the image. Charged and plain slides hold sections differently.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
