Globe Scientific Frosted Classic Microscope Slides Model 1338 – 1.1mm Thick Glass Slides

The Globe Scientific Frosted Classic Microscope Slides (Model 1338) are precision-cut soda lime glass slides measuring 25 x 75 x 1.1 mm with a smooth frosted finish achieved via a unique ink printing process. This frosted surface is resistant to fading from slide marking pens, ensuring clear sample labeling—critical for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows. Slides bear the "Globe" imprint beneath the frosted area for standardized orientation during microscopy.

Available in configurations including single-sided or double-sided frosting and with ground or beveled edges, these slides provide versatility for applications in cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and clinical diagnostics. Ground-edge options include 90° straight corners or safety corners, enhancing handling safety and slide integrity in high-throughput laboratory environments.

Key technical details:

• Thickness: 1.1 mm for optimal mechanical stability during biomanufacturing research
• Packaging: 72 slides per box, 20 boxes per case (10 gross) suitable for bulk laboratory use
• Soda lime glass requires proper storage in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent hydrophobic surface changes and condensation, preserving slide longevity and sample fidelity, essential in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics workflows.
• Recommended shelf life: ~2 years with proper storage and stock rotation to maintain quality and performance.

These slides are widely adopted in biotechnology research and histology labs where precision slide integrity and consistent surface properties are critical for reproducible microscopic imaging and analysis.
