Our company fabricates and supplies quartz microscope slides based on optical grade high-purity synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide. Unlike conventional quartz slides made of natural fused quartz glass, our quartz object carriers have a material quality typically used for sophisticated optics. They feature a significantly higher transmission for lower UV-wavelengths than fused-quartz based glass products can provide. Their excellent purity allows scientific applications in the deep ultraviolet range (DUV) and reduces absorption losses in this wavelength range to a minimum. All of the quartz microscope slides we fabricate from synthetic quartz are double side optically polished. They offer more than 80% light transmission even at a very low UV-wavelength of 185 nm, whereas conventional fused quartz slides typically transmit less than 50%.
Our quartz glass slides are characterized by an excellent flatness and surface quality otherwise only known from optics. Also, they offer the exceptional purity and high chemical resistance of amorphous quartz, thus enabling contamination-free sample storage in the laboratory. No substances or chemicals dissolve into the sample from the inert quartz microscope slides or coverslips, representing a mandatory requirement for many demanding microscopy applications in medical cell research, epidemiology, virology, life science, analytics, biotechnology, and sample storage solutions.
Our company supplies all standard sizes of quartz microscope slides and coverslips used in science and the lab. (see table). However, we are not limited to the few quartz items listed in the table as a manufacturing company. Almost any shape and size is possible. So whether you need round quartz plates, cover glasses, square quartz cover plates, or other types of quartz components, our company almost always provides a solution.
Our delivery time for quartz microscope slides with custom dimensions is just as short as it is for the listed sizes, so a shopping cart for a limited number of items does not make sense. If you search for the ultra-speedy delivery of custom-sized quartz microscope slides, our 48 h Express Service is possible for any thickness listed in the thickness table. This unique option offers the manufacturing and shipping of custom-sized quartz microscope slides within two working days after receipt of your order, provided there are no other complex manufacturing steps required. When you order by our 48 h Express Services, you have your tailored quartz slide on your lab table very quickly, so you can continue your project or daily business without delay.

The bold numbers represent the most common standards of microscope slides and coverslips used in the science lab. However, if you can use any alternative smaller slide dimensions, please take into account that these sizes might significantly lower the piece price compared to the standardized quartz slide sizes. For example, the price of a quartz microscope slide at 23mm x 66mm x 1mm is considerably lower than that of a 25mm x 75mm x 1mm dimension. Also, round quartz plates, other shapes, and quartz coverslips are possible. Please send us your inquiry. |
