FAQ
What is the difference between plain and frosted slides?
Plain slides have a clear glass surface on both sides, ideal for coverslipping and applications where the entire slide area is needed for specimen viewing. Frosted slides have a matte, writable area at one or both ends for manual labeling with pencil or marker. Double-frosted slides provide labeling space on both ends, commonly used in automated staining platforms. Color-coded frosting options help organize slides by stain type, priority, or pathologist assignment.
Are these slides compatible with automated stainers and coverslippers?
Yes. Roundfin microscope slides use the industry-standard 75 x 25 mm format with 1.0-1.2 mm thickness, making them fully compatible with all major automated staining platforms (Leica ST5010/5020, Roche Ventana, Dako Artisan/Omnis), coverslippers (Leica CV5030, Sakura Tissue-Tek), and digital pathology scanners (Leica Aperio, Philips, Hamamatsu, 3DHistech).
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard packaging is 50 slides per box or 72 slides per pack. Small orders of 10-20 boxes are welcome for laboratory evaluation. Institutional bulk pricing applies for orders of 500+ boxes. OEM/ODM custom production minimum is typically 5,000-10,000 boxes depending on customization specifications. Contact Roundfin for a quotation based on your annual slide consumption.
How should microscope slides be stored?
Store unopened slide boxes in a clean, dry environment at room temperature (15-25°C). Avoid humidity, which can cause glass surface degradation over time. Once a box is opened, keep slides in the box with the lid closed when not in use to prevent dust accumulation on pre-cleaned surfaces. Do not store slides in areas with chemical vapors (formalin, xylene) that may deposit residues on the glass surface.
