Cover Glass Slide Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Cover Glass Slide (Product Code: SLE/CL/26) is a square microscopy slide cover in colourless glass, 22x22mm and 0.17mm thick, placed over a specimen on a microscope slide to flatten it and protect both the sample and the objective lens. The covers are clinical grade, washed and polished, free from nicks and scratches, and packed fibre-free in a box of 100. Pathology, haematology and microbiology benches in clinics and hospitals use them daily, as do biology practical classes. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a lab consumables supplier India-wide for clinical and teaching laboratories.

Specifications

Typical Use

A cover glass turns a drop of liquid on a slide into a thin, even layer that the microscope can focus on. Technicians use it on wet mounts such as urine sediment, stool or skin scraping preparations, and on stained smears that are mounted in a medium for longer keeping. The 0.17mm thickness matters because high-power objectives are designed to look through a thin cover of this kind; a thicker or uneven cover makes fine detail harder to bring into focus.

To avoid air bubbles, touch one edge of the cover to the liquid and lower it slowly at an angle. Hold covers by their edges or with fine forceps so fingerprints do not end up in the field of view, and keep the box closed in a dry place so the glass stays clean and the covers do not stick together. Colleges that buy a compound microscope in India for their biology or pathology labs usually order cover glasses at the same time, because a class can use a box quickly.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, and supplies consumables like these cover glasses alongside the microscopes, slides and staining equipment it offers to clinical and educational laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size and thickness are these cover glasses?
Each cover is 22x22mm and 0.17mm thick, made of colourless glass.

How many covers are in one box?
One box holds 100 slide covers, packed fibre-free so they arrive clean.

Can I use them with an oil immersion objective?
Yes, the thin 0.17mm cover suits high-power work; place the immersion oil on top of the cover glass, not beneath it, and wipe the objective after use.

Are cover glasses reusable?
They are treated as consumables. Thin glass breaks easily during cleaning, and covers used on clinical samples should be discarded as laboratory waste.

How should the boxes be stored?
Keep them closed in a dry, dust-free place. Humidity can make covers stick together or leave a haze on the glass.

Can you quote for large quantities?
Yes. Hospitals, colleges and distributors in India and international markets can request a bulk quotation through our contact page.
