Frequently Asked Questions
What does #2 thickness mean for this cover glass?
The #2 designation corresponds to roughly 0.17–0.25 mm. It is thicker and more rugged than #1 or #1.5 glass, making it well suited for thicker mounting media and reducing breakage during high-volume coverslipping.
How is this cover glass packaged?
Each pack contains 1 oz. of 24 x 32 mm coverslips sealed under vacuum, and ten packs ship per box for a total of 10 oz. The price shown is per box.
Is this product sterile?
No. This cover glass is supplied non-sterile for general histology, cytology, and microscopy mounting applications.
Why is this listed as a special-order size?
The 24 x 32 mm #2 format is a made-to-order dimension rather than a stocked standard, so lead times may be longer. Reach out for current availability before placing time-sensitive orders.
