Cardinal Health Microscope Slides

These Cardinal Health slides and cover glass are manufactured as precision laboratory consumables where material clarity and uniform sizing are paramount for accurate microscopic examination.

• They utilize specialized glass components required for clear optical viewing.
• The primary slide variants adhere to the standardized dimensions of 25mm x 75mm x 1mm.
• The cover glass accessories are specified as No 1 Microscope Slide Cover Glass (thickness range of 0.13-0.17mm), confirming the use of thin, high-quality glass essential for distortion-free optics.

Yes, Cardinal Health provides specific configurations designed with a printable surface to facilitate laboratory workflow and identification.

• The Superfrost Printable slides are the variant equipped for this feature.
• These slides include a dedicated white tab intended for use with printing systems or advanced labeling methods.

These Cardinal Health microscope slides are essential laboratory consumables, designed for a variety of critical procedures in diagnostic and research settings. They are specifically suited for:

• General Histology, Pathology, and Cytology: They are used for standard microscopic examination and specimen preparation.
• Specialized Specimen Adherence: The Superfrost Plus and Colorfrost Plus variants feature a positive charge, which is crucial for enhancing specimen retention, especially for difficult-to-adhere samples.
• Workflow Management: The color-coded Colorfrost options (Green, Yellow) are useful for high-throughput laboratories requiring visual differentiation and segregation of workflows.

The dimensions are 25mm x 75mm x 1mm.

Cardinal Health Microscope Slides are 1mm thick. For the microscope slide cover glass, the thickness is 0.13-0.17mm.

Cardinal Health microscope slides incorporate several specialized design features intended to enhance sample identification, labeling, and tracking efficiency in the laboratory:

• Printable White Tabs: The Superfrost Printable Slides feature a white tab specifically designed for use with automated slide printing systems, supporting efficient digital labeling and tracking.
• Frosted Ends: Standard slide variants include a frosted end, which provides an ideal surface for manual writing and improved handling.
• Color-Coded Ends: The Colorfrost Plus adhesion slides are available with color-coded frosted ends in Green or Yellow. This visual differentiation is highly effective for segregating samples, managing different protocols, or streamlining workflow organization.

Cardinal Health provides a variety of specialized glass slides and cover slips tailored for precise laboratory work and enhanced sample management:

• Positive Charged Adhesion Slides: These options are engineered for enhanced specimen adherence, significantly reducing sample loss during rigorous staining and washing protocols.
  • Superfrost Plus: Features a standard frosted end.
  • Colorfrost Plus: Offers color-coded frosted ends (available in Green or Yellow) ideal for quick visual organization in high-throughput environments.
• Superfrost Printable Slides: These slides include a white tab that is compatible with thermal or ink-jet printing systems, streamlining digital labeling and tracking processes.
• No 1 Microscope Slide Cover Glass: Standard precision cover glass sized 22mm x 22mm, with a thickness ranging from 0.13mm to 0.17mm.

Note: The Yellow Colorfrost Plus variant is specialized as Made To Order and is non-returnable.

Yes, the charged slides are specifically engineered by Cardinal Health for enhanced specimen retention in demanding laboratory settings.

Both the Superfrost Plus and Colorfrost Plus variants utilize Positive Charged Adhesion technology, providing superior benefits for reliable microscopy work:

• Enhanced Sample Retention: The integrated positive charge effectively attracts and strongly holds cells or tissue sections onto the glass surface.
• Prevents Wash-Off: This superior adhesion is vital for preventing samples from detaching or washing off during rigorous processing steps, such as staining and immersion protocols.
• Standardized Compatibility: These slides maintain the standard laboratory dimensions of 25mm x 75mm x 1mm while delivering this enhanced functionality.

Cardinal Health offers several specialized microscope slide configurations and cover glass to support diverse laboratory needs:

• Superfrost Printable Microscope Slides: These feature a white tab designed for compatibility with automated printing systems, ensuring fast and accurate labeling.
• Positive Charged Adhesion Slides: For challenging samples that require superior retention, the following options feature a positive charge:
  • Superfrost Plus Positive Charged: Offers enhanced specimen adhesion on a frosted end.
  • Colorfrost Plus Positive Charged: Provides the same strong adhesion with the added benefit of color-coded frosted ends (Green or Yellow) for efficient visual sorting and organization.
• Standard Slide Dimensions: All microscope slides (Printable, Superfrost Plus, and Colorfrost Plus) consistently measure 25mm x 75mm x 1mm.
• No 1 Microscope Slide Cover Glass: Standard components measuring 22mm x 22mm with a precise thickness range of 0.13mm to 0.17mm.

Yes, Cardinal Health offers specialized slides featuring Positive Charged Adhesion, designed to ensure superior specimen retention during laboratory preparation, staining, and washing protocols. This is a key feature for securing challenging biological samples.

This adhesion enhancement is available on the following slide types:

• Superfrost Plus Positive Charged Adhesion Microscope Slides
• Colorfrost Plus Positive Charged Adhesion Microscope Slides (These variants also feature color-coded frosted ends in Green or Yellow for easy organization.)

All primary microscope slides adhere to the standard dimension of 25mm x 75mm x 1mm.
