Concavity Slides Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Concavity Slides (Product Code: SLE/M/78) are glass microscope slides with polished spherical cavities, used to hold drops of liquid cultures, live protozoa, small aquatic organisms and hanging-drop preparations for observation. Each concavity is about 13 mm across and 0.5 mm deep, formed in clear, noncorrosive glass, and the slides are available with a single or a double concavity. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for teaching and research laboratories.

Specifications

What Are Concavity Slides Used For?

A flat slide squashes or dries out living material; a cavity gives it room. Concavity slides are the standard choice for the hanging-drop method used to watch bacterial motility, and for observing Paramecium, rotifers, small crustaceans and other pond-water life swimming freely. Double-cavity slides let students compare two samples, such as a culture before and after adding a reagent, on the same slide. They are basic microbiology lab equipment in India for school, college and diagnostic-training practicals.

For a hanging drop, ring the edge of a cover glass with a little petroleum jelly, place a small drop of culture in its centre, lower the slide cavity-down onto it and turn the slide over so the drop hangs inside the cavity. After use, soak and wash the slides, rinse with distilled water and dry them before storing in a slide box; disinfect first when working with live cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the cavity on the Concavity Slides?
Each cavity on the Concavity Slides is a polished spherical depression about 13 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm deep. That volume holds a small drop of culture or pond water deep enough for organisms to move without being crushed by the cover glass.

Are the Concavity Slides available with one or two cavities?
Yes, the Concavity Slides are available with either a single or a double concavity. Single-cavity slides suit individual hanging-drop preparations, while double-cavity slides let two samples be compared side by side. State the version and quantity when you enquire.

What are Concavity Slides used for?
Concavity Slides are used for hanging-drop preparations to observe bacterial motility, and for viewing live protozoa, rotifers and other small aquatic organisms. The cavity keeps the liquid in a deeper pool than a flat slide, so specimens stay alive and mobile for longer.

What glass are the Concavity Slides made from?
The Concavity Slides are made from clear, noncorrosive glass with polished cavities, giving a transparent, smooth surface for light to pass through. The specific glass type is not stated; ask on the contact page if your specification requires it.

Can Concavity Slides be reused?
Concavity Slides are glass and can be reused after proper cleaning: soak, wash with detergent, rinse with distilled water and dry. Slides used with live microbial cultures should be disinfected according to your laboratory's safety procedure before washing.

Who supplies the Concavity Slides?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India supplies the Concavity Slides to schools, colleges, microbiology laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, together with cover glasses and plain slides.
