Dear List,

I am looking for a chambered BK-7 coverglass of standard dimensions
(25x75mm), like plastic microdishes from Ibidi (25x75mm as expected), or
similar to LabTek chambered coverglass (which has "highly sophisticated"
dimensions - 25x55 mm; marketing people are unusually "very bright").

Cheers,

Vitaly

Hi Vitaly,

I am a sales representative for ibidi in the US. I believe that I sent you
some samples awhile back.  Are you aware of our 8 and 18 well slides, cell
culture inserts and our 96 well plates?  If you would like, you can get
another three free samples on our website at www.ibidi.com.  If you are
looking for a removable chamber, we have a product that will be coming out
shortly that should fit that need and I can check with my colleagues in
Germany to see when that would be available.  Let me know.

Thanks,
Megan Nicholson

Are you looking for glass-bottom (coverslip) dishes?  We use ones from
Mattek Corp and have had good results.  I like them because you can
get a variety of coverslip sizes (No 0, 1, 1.5, etc) as well as
diameters of coverslip.  Their standard sizes are 35 and 50mm dishes
with various diameter windows in the middle.
