Kardex Remstar Pathology Vertical Carousel Modules

Kardex Remstar Pathology Vertical Carousel Storage Systems provide a high-density solution for storing glass slides, pathology slides, microscope slides, histology slides, blood slides, and paraffin blocks in the smallest amount of floor space possible. Designed for pathology labs, histology departments, hospitals, and long-term laboratory archives, these vertical carousel modules maximize storage capacity by using the unused vertical height in your facility instead of spreading storage across bulky cabinets, shelving, or drawer systems. A Kardex Remstar pathology storage system helps organize and protect glass slide storage and paraffin block storage while improving retrieval speed, staff efficiency, and workflow. By consolidating thousands of slides and tissue blocks into a compact automated vertical carousel, labs can reduce clutter, eliminate obsolete storage methods, improve accessibility, and store more pathology materials without expanding their existing footprint. Combine multiple storage areas into one area and reduce or eliminate off site storage for histology slides to save on off site storage costs and make your staff more efficient.

Before selecting a model

Confirm slide quantity, future growth, ceiling height, delivery path, floor loading, and power location. StoreMoreStore can help compare the configurations and narrow the best fit before quoting.

How to Choose the Right Carousel Size

Start with slide capacity, then confirm whether the height and site requirements fit the room. Taller models provide more archive capacity, but they also require more careful planning around ceiling clearance, delivery access, and floor load.

Common Pathology Carousel Questions

Should I choose by slide capacity only?

No. Slide capacity is important, but the final model should also match ceiling height, access path, floor loading, workflow, and installation conditions.

What information should I send StoreMoreStore?

Send current slide quantity, expected growth, room dimensions, ceiling height, access path, and any site restrictions so the team can help review suitable configurations.

Which models provide the highest capacity?

The 22-, 23-, and 24-carrier configurations provide the highest capacity in this family, ranging from 340,736 to 371,712 slide positions.

Need help selecting a pathology carousel?

Send StoreMoreStore your slide count, room dimensions, ceiling height, available access path, and installation notes. The team can help compare the 13- to 24-carrier configurations and confirm which model best fits your storage and site requirements.
