Ten Drawer Timber Entomological Cabinet – Standard Model

Entomological cabinet with ten (10) quality drawers. The drawers are in two tiers which are set side by side, with each tier containing 5 drawers. By popular demand the internal height of each drawer is now 10mm higher (total 52mm) than the previous series. Consequently the drawer height size is comparable to the metal cabinets. The cabinet shell is made from 16mm select beech natural finish laminex and the drawers from Meranti.

Each drawer is accurately made and is interchangeable with other drawers in this cabinet series. An accurate fitting frame, also made from Meranti and glass, fits snugly over each drawer. Twin pull knobs and a card frame are provided.

Unlike the de luxe cabinet drawers, these deep standard drawers do not have a naphthalene moat.

By not having a moat, the lids protrude around the inside edge of the drawers by 12mm and downwards into the tray by 7mm. The internal height of the drawer under this edge is 45mm as against 52mm height where the glass cover is.

The drawers accommodate the unit pinning trays series E245 to E247. One such combination per drawer is:

• 4 x E245 (large)
• 10 x E246 (medium)
• 5 x E247 (small)

White polyethylene pinning foam for the drawers is available as an optional extra.

The trays will fit into the drawer regardless of whether polyethylene foam is lining the bottom of the drawer or not. (Please see images for example tray layout in drawer).

Cabinet is supplied with 10 Fumicels.
