Frequently Asked Questions
Are these microscope slides made of glass or plastic?
They are molded from acrylic, a shatter-resistant plastic. This eliminates glass breakage hazards while maintaining clear optical performance for routine microscopy.
What does TC treated mean for these slides?
TC treatment modifies the acrylic surface to be hydrophilic and charged, promoting attachment and growth of adherent cells directly on the slide for culture and imaging workflows.
Are the slides supplied sterile?
Yes. Each slide is supplied sterile in a 25-count PPC mailing box, making them ready for cell culture and aseptic preparation without additional processing.
What are the dimensions and how many come per box?
Each slide measures 75 x 25 x 1 mm, the standard microscope slide footprint, and they are packaged 25 per PPC mailing box.
