5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples 5-Place

The 5-Place Veterinary Sample Slide Holder is an essential tool for organizing and managing biological samples, offering a practical and safe solution for transporting, storing and presenting up to five slides at the same time. Designed with durable, high-quality materials, this slide holder is widely used in veterinary laboratories to facilitate the daily work of veterinary technicians and doctors, ensuring that each specimen is protected from shock, dust and cross-contamination. Thanks to the ergonomic design, it also allows for easy cataloging and labelling, allowing rapid recognition of samples during analyses. The transparent or opaque structure, depending on the model, guarantees optimal visibility without ever sacrificing protection. Lightweight, compact and perfectly stackable, it is suitable for both small laboratories and large specialist structures.

Therapeutic Indications

The 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples is recommended for the safe handling and storage of pathological samples, hematological, cytological, urinary, histological and mycological materials intended for microscopic examinations. Ideal for both fresh and fixed samples, its use ensures the integrity of the slides during transfer between the collection areas and the analysis laboratories. The use of the slide holder in the veterinary field is crucial to avoid cross-contamination which could compromise the validity of diagnostic results. Furthermore, the slide holder facilitates a clear separation between different types of samples, making the workflow in organizing analysis sessions simpler and quicker. The possibility of individually labeling each slot also facilitates precise tracking of each slide, reducing the risk of identification errors and thus ensuring high safety standards in all phases of veterinary sample management.

Composition

Materials: The slide holder is mainly made of high transparency polypropylene or polystyrene, materials known for their resistance to impacts, to chemical agents commonly used in laboratories and to thermal variations that can occur during storage or transport. Some models are equipped with a transparent lid to inspect samples and ensure protection from dust, splashes and external agents, while others may feature a snap or interlocking closure to ensure an airtight seal. The internal surface of the compartments is smooth and free of roughness, a further guarantee of safety when handling the slides, minimizing the risk of chipping or breakages. The separate slots are designed to securely accommodate standard format slides, thus avoiding unwanted movement during transport and keeping each sample perfectly isolated.

Contraindications

Do not use the 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples for samples that require specific storage conditions that are not compatible with plastic materials, such as prolonged exposure to extremely aggressive organic solvents or high temperatures that may compromise the structure of the polymer. We do not recommend use with slides that are not compatible due to thickness or size, or with materials that could react with the plastic of the slide holder. The use of unsuitable detergents could damage the surface, causing micro-cracks and reduce the transparency or resistance of the container: the use of products specifically tested for laboratory plastic material is recommended. In case of visible signs of wear, cracks or opaqueness, it is advisable to replace the slide holder to ensure maximum safety of the transported samples.

Safety of the drug for the species

The 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples represents a safe solution for all animal species, as it does not interact directly with biological samples but acts as a protective support for the slides used for examinations. However, safety for the species is guaranteed as long as the slide holder is used exclusively for the purpose for which it is intended: the temporary conservation and transport of slides to be analyzed. The risk of accidental exposure is practically zero, especially if the slide holder is always placed in dedicated areas not accessible to animals or unskilled personnel. It is important that all transported samples are labeled and handled according to normal laboratory safety procedures, so as to avoid the risk of mix-ups or errors in attribution to a specific animal.

Precautions

Always handle the 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples with clean, dry hands, to prevent accidental transfers of organic material or contaminants that could distort analysis results. Before and after each use, carefully clean the slide holder according to internal laboratory protocols using non-aggressive detergents and ensuring that it is completely dry before inserting new slides. Avoid overloading the slide holder with slides of non-standard dimensions or in greater numbers than expected, as this could permanently damage the structure of the container or cause the slides themselves to break. Store the slide holder in dry environments, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Method of administration

Using the 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples is extremely simple: each slot, numbered or labelable, houses a slide already prepared with the biological sample. Make sure all slides are well inserted and stable before closing the lid. During transport, handle the slide holder with care, keeping it in a horizontal position to avoid the risk of spillage or damage to the specimens. Once in the laboratory, carefully extract each slide using tweezers or clean gloves, observing all the hygiene rules required.

Treatment program

The 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples can be used daily or as needed, based on laboratory protocols. There are no limits to the frequency of use, as long as the cleaning and maintenance procedures are carefully observed at each work cycle. Samples must be transported in the shortest possible time from collection to analysis to guarantee their integrity and diagnostic quality. After each use, thorough cleaning and disinfection is recommended before putting the slide holder away, so as to prevent contamination and guarantee safety in the management of subsequent samples.

Target species

The 5-Place Slide Holder for Veterinary Samples is designed for veterinary use on all animal species, including domestic, farmed, exotic and wild ones, adapting perfectly to the management of samples taken from dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, birds and other animals cared for in professionally equipped veterinary facilities.
