The Kardex Remstar Blood Slide Pathology Vertical Carousel Storage System is a high-density automated vertical carousel module for pathology slide storage, blood slide storage, histology slide storage, microscope slide storage, and long-term laboratory archive organization. Designed for hospitals, pathology departments, reference laboratories, research facilities, and medical record archive rooms, this system stores glass slide trays on enclosed rotating carriers and delivers the selected carrier to an ergonomic access opening so staff can retrieve slide trays without searching rows of manual cabinets or pulling heavy drawers. This configuration includes 13 carriers, 286 slide trays, and an approximate capacity of 201,344 glass slides, making it a space-saving pathology carousel storage system for facilities that need to consolidate high-volume retained slides, reduce clutter, improve retrieval workflow, and make better use of vertical ceiling height without expanding the lab footprint. Pricing is for Product only: Request a quote or call for installation, setup, and freight. Multiple configurations available.
