The Importance of Microscope Slides and Coverglass in the Lab
Understanding Slides to Improve Workflows and Results
Microscope slides and coverglass are used in many parts of the clinical lab, but knowledge about their manufacture and technical properties may be limited. This lack of knowledge can lead to uncertainty about potential issues during their use. The attributes of different types of slides can create different sample adherence and possibly influence turnaround times and test results.
In this presentation, you’ll learn how slides are manufactured, what types of adhesion properties are available, and how various slide types can improve workflows and results.
Learning Objectives
This webinar will help you:
- Describe the glass manufacturing process
- Explain the adhesion properties of slides
- Discuss the best uses for different types of slides
- Review the importance of coverglass specifications
