Introducing Our Premium Upright Slide Drying Rack for Labs Experience unmatched durability and versatility with our stackable slide-draining tray, now available in PETG or annealed PET-GF (glass fiber reinforced PET). Designed for demanding lab environments, these materials offer excellent performance across a range of heat and chemical conditions. PETG Heat Resistance: up to ~80°C / 176°FPET-GF Heat Resistance: significantly higher ~120–140°C (248–284°F)Material Options – Choose What Fits Your Lab Quick Material GuideChoose PETG if you want: More color options, flexibility, and reliable performance for everyday slide dryingChoose PET-GF if you need: Higher heat resistance, maximum rigidity, and better performance in demanding lab conditions PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) Durable, impact-resistant, and slightly flexibleIdeal for routine lab use, slide drying, and stagingHandles incidental chemical exposure wellWide range of color options for personalization and organizationHeat Deflection Temperature (HDT): ~70–80°C (158–176°F) Best for: Drying slides after staining or rinsingSlides removed from chemicals (e.g., xylene) and placed in the rack to dryLabs that want color-coded organizationGeneral-purpose use without prolonged heat or chemical exposure Annealed PET-GF (Glass Fiber Reinforced PET) Reinforced with glass fibers for increased stiffness and strengthAnnealed for improved thermal performance and dimensional stabilityBetter suited for repeated heat exposure and longer chemical contactMore rigid and structurally stable under load and temperatureHeat Deflection Temperature (HDT): ~80°C (176°F) unannealed; ~120–140°C (248–284°F) after annealingFewer color options (Unavailable colors will show as sold out on the ordering page) Best for: Frequent oven use or elevated temperature workflowsEnvironments with more aggressive or prolonged chemical exposureHigh-use lab settings where maximum durability and rigidity are needed If slides are placed in a chemical (such as xylene), then removed and set in the rack only for drying, both materials perform well. If the rack itself will be regularly exposed to heat or prolonged chemical contact, PET-GF is the better choice. Key Features:Holds up to 50 slides in an upright configurationStackable design for efficient workflowOptional numbered or non-numbered slotsCustom color selection (PETG only)Printed to order with strict quality control Why Choose UsUnparalleled Quality: Each unit is custom printed and inspected for precision and durabilityMaterial Transparency: Clear performance differences so you can choose confidentlyFast Turnaround: Typically 3–5 business days (often faster, but quality comes first)3D Printing & Product Variability Disclaimer Every item is printed to order. Due to the nature of 3D printing, each piece is unique and may have slight variations from print to print. Your item will match what you ordered but may not look exactly like the photos. Filament color can vary from roll to roll—even from the same manufacturer—so exact color matching between orders or to listing photos cannot be guaranteed. FDM 3D printing inherently produces visible layer lines and minor surface variations. These are normal and do not affect functionality. I take care to ensure that every product is thoroughly inspected for structural integrity, usability, and overall visual quality. If you receive an item with any issue, please reach out—I’m happy to work with you to make it right.
