Product Description

A Schiefferdecker PMP Staining Trough supports organized slide staining by holding microscope slides in a compact trough format. The Schiefferdecker pattern is commonly used for horizontal back-to-back slide arrangement, helping technicians and students process multiple slides during one staining or rinsing step.

PMP refers to polymethylpentene, a transparent laboratory plastic commonly used for staining troughs. This product is suitable for use with microscope instruments, prepared slides, staining reagents, slide racks, forceps, and biology preparation-room workflows. Final chemical compatibility should be checked against the stain, solvent, cleaning agent, and laboratory protocol.
