Glass Microscope Slides, 25 x 75mm, 90° Ground Edges with Safety Corners, Frosted, 1 End, 1 Side, 72/Box, 20 Boxes/Case. Globe's frosted microscope slides are produced using a unique chemical etching process. This provides our slides with a smooth frosted finish that won't wear out slide marking pens. Slides are printed with "Globe" under the frosting area for orientation purposes. Finding the perfect slide to suit your needs is easy: choose from single sided or double sided frosted, and ground or beveled edges. We also offer our ground-edge slides with the following options: 90° corners (straight-edge) or safety corners. We are happy to help you select the perfect slide.

Transportation and storage conditions considerably affect the quality and performance of microscope slides. Microscope slides should be stored in a dry place at constant room temperature. Slides should be stored on a pallet or shelf and not directly on a floor. Do not store slides and solvents together as the slide surface can turn hydrophobic. If the temperature is constantly warming and cooling, condensation may occur, which can cause sticking of the slides. Slides should be allowed to reach room temperature prior to use.

Since soda lime glass is subject to an aging process, we further recommend continuously rotating stock so the oldest slides are always used first. This will ensure that all slides being used are of the highest quality.

Standard shelf life for soda lime glass microscope slides is approximately 2 years if the above transportation and storage conditions are followed.
