Description

Color-Coded Tab: The slide has an aqua-colored frosted tab on one end, which allows for easy organization and quick identification of different samples.
Frosted Writing Surface: The colored tab has a frosted finish that can be easily written on with a pencil or laboratory marker. This writing surface is designed to be resistant to common laboratory chemicals.
Standard Dimensions: The slides are manufactured to the standard size of approximately $25 \text{ mm} \times 75 \text{ mm}$ ( $1 \text{ inch} \times 3 \text{ inches}$ ), with a thickness of about $1 \text{ mm}$ , ensuring they fit standard microscope stages and equipment.
Material: They are made from glass to provide high optical clarity for viewing specimens.
Autoclavable: These slides can be sterilized in an autoclave, making them suitable for applications that require a sterile environment.
Packaging: They are typically packaged in boxes of 144 slides (one gross) for convenient dispensing and storage in the lab.

Specimen Mounting: Their fundamental use is to hold and support thin samples (e.g., tissue sections, cell smears, microorganisms) for observation under a microscope.
Histology and Pathology: In medical labs, these slides are essential for preparing tissue samples for examination. The color-coding system is useful for categorizing slides by patient, specimen type, or staining protocol.
Microbiology: They are used to prepare smears of bacteria and other microorganisms for staining and identification.
Education: These slides are widely used in academic settings for teaching biology, histology, and microscopy techniques.
General Laboratory Applications: They are a versatile and fundamental tool for any research or clinical lab that uses microscopy. The color-coding helps improve workflow efficiency and reduce the risk of sample mix-ups.
