Glass Microscope Slides

Product Code : SCL-CL-11930

Glass Microscope Slides (SKU SCL-CL-11930) are flat, transparent glass plates used as the mounting platform that holds a specimen under a microscope. Students place a drop of sample, a section or a smear on the slide, add a cover glass and examine it on the stage. The slides serve school biology, college practicals and routine laboratory microscopy. Buyers in schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contracting and distribution receive them from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.

Specifications

These are clear glass slides packed 150 pieces to a box. The glass is heat resistant and chemical resistant, so the slides tolerate gentle warming during fixing and contact with common stains and mounting reagents used in laboratory slide preparation.

Applications and Experiments for Glass Microscope Slides

Plain glass slides are the everyday consumable of any microscopy lab. They carry temporary wet mounts in school practicals, stained smears and sections in college labs, and samples for routine checks, so a box of 150 keeps a class supplied through a term of practical work.

• NCERT Class 9 biology: temporary mounts of onion peel and human cheek cells.
• Class 11–12 biology: preparing slides of stomata, pollen grains and root-tip squashes.
• B.Sc. botany, zoology and microbiology: stained smears and hand-cut sections.
• Nursing and paramedical training labs: practising smear preparation and staining technique.

Hold slides by the edges to avoid fingerprints, and handle broken glass with care; used slides with biological material should be disinfected before washing or disposal.

Standard Scope of Supply

One pack contains 150 clear glass microscope slides in a box. Cover glasses, stains and mounting media are separate items; the matching cover glasses can be quoted alongside so that each slide can be covered after the specimen is mounted.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Order a single box for a small lab or several boxes to stock every biology bench for the year. Our quotation spells out packing, delivery time and price for that number of boxes, and as a laboratory glassware supplier in India we can add cover glasses, beakers and other items.

Operating as a registered exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. Put the slides in the enquiry cart with other items, reach us through the contact page, or open the lab tender page for tender quotes.
