Yeah I used to use Fisher Scientific square plastic cover slips. Now I am using Sigma 22x22mm (Z36,590-4, 100 each Lot10B084279) smaller sized ones. These plastic ones are much more durable than the glass ones and are very easy to be handled. They work very well for both hanging drops or for sitting drops sealing with grease.

They work like a charm. They come 100 to a box.

The company sells it for a huge amount. Also there is a wide monetary difference between a normal siliconized coverslip and a 22mm siliconized circle coverslips. We tried to search for an alternative companies but couldn't get any one who sells coverslips with the same dimensions (0.19-0.22mm glass thickness and 22 mm glass diameter). Is there any alternative company (distribution in India) from where we can buy them for a reasonable price? > Thanks in advance for sparing your valuable time and efforts. > > Regards > Rajnandani Kashyap > India > > To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: > https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 <https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1> > To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: > https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 <https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1> ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
