Cardboard Cabinets to the Rescue: Smart Storage for Smart Labs

Meet Dr. Jane Smith, lab manager at a fast-paced biotech institute. Faced with a cluttered workspace, tight budgets, and sustainability goals, she needed a solution to get her lab organized without breaking the bank. Enter Globe Scientific's cardboard storage cabinets.

Lab Storage, Simplified

Alongside your traditional storage systems, Globe's cardboard cabinets bring lightweight, stackable, and modular convenience to the bench—perfect for organizing microscope slides and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. Each cabinet arrives flat-packed and folds together easily—no tools, no hassle. Best of all, they save bench space by going vertical and can be reconfigured as needs change.

Sustainable and Budget-Friendly

Made from recyclable materials, these cabinets support sustainable laboratory practices without sacrificing functionality. Labs can cutdown on plastic and heavy infrastructure while staying organized. And with a price point that’s significantly lower than traditional metal alternatives, they’re a smart addition to any budget-friendly lab equipment plan.

Globe offers two cabinet options tailored for lab needs: a four-drawer slide storage cabinet that accommodates up to 2,000 microscope slides, and an eight-drawer cabinet designed to hold up to 500 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. These solutions fit seamlessly into pathology, histology, research, and teaching labs.

The Bottom Line:
