Coverslips
Laboratory coverslips are essential for lab imaging. At FB Australia, we offer a variety of coverslip options, including quality products from Neuvitro. These thin, flat covers are used together with slides to hold samples in place and produce a clear image. Neuvitro coverslips are made from high-quality glass, and they’re perfect for live cell cultures and biological tissue samples.
FB Australia stocks a variety of coverslips from Neuvitro, including glass coverslips for live cell imaging and confocal imaging. These coverslips are available in various specifications designed to suit all lab applications. If you have any questions about our range of coverslips, please contact our support team online or call 1800 066 077.

The Types of Cell Culture Coverslips We Supply
Coverslips are small, simple items that fulfil a variety of purposes in a lab setting. They’re used in various cell culture and microscopy applications, two distinct yet complementary techniques. Coverslips are essential to both, enabling image clarity and protecting samples during the visualisation process.
Sample Visualisation
Lab coverslips are designed to support high-resolution microscopy by ensuring a consistent focal plane and reducing image distortion. Fixation between the bottom slide and top coverslip supports optical clarity by securing samples in place between a flat and even surface.
Sample Protection
Coverslips for cell culture and confocal imaging are designed to protect samples. They provide a physical barrier to the surrounding environment, preventing the sample from drying out and reducing exposure to contaminants. This is important in busy lab environments, where dust or debris can hinder your results.
Laboratory Applications for Coverslips
At FB Australia, we supply coverslips for live cell imaging and confocal imaging. The following applications rely on accurate imaging techniques and our quality coverslips:
Cell culture studies: Coverslips and specialised coatings are used to facilitate cell growth while allowing the observation of live specimens under a microscope.
Biological analysis: Coverslips enable the detailed study of biological structures during research, including tissues, cells, and microorganisms.
Pathology: Coverslips enable the microscopic examination of biological samples to facilitate the diagnosis and understanding of diseases. They are used in manual and automated settings.
Specialised applications: Coverslips are used extensively in microscopy applications, including confocal, scanning probe techniques and more.

FAQs
At FB Australia, we stock coverslips for cell culture imaging and confocal imaging. Neuvitro manufactures both products. Looking for something else? We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver bespoke solutions to any lab in Australia. Don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team to discuss your unique requirements for coverslips.
Coverslips create a consistent, optically clear interface that immobilises and stabilises specimens between the microscope slide and coverslip, ensuring precise focal alignment and optimal imaging resolution. They also serve a protective role, shielding samples from airborne contaminants, particulate debris, and dehydration, which helps maintain sample integrity during observation and imaging.
Coverslips are used alongside microscope slides and imaging equipment. The coverslip is a flat component placed over the specimen, which is on top of the slide. Specialised tools are also used for sample preparation.
Neuvitro coverslips for confocal and live-cell imaging are made from high-precision borosilicate glass, which is known for its optical clarity, low autofluorescence, and chemical and thermal stability. While alternative materials like soda lime glass, plastic, and quartz are also commonly used for coverslips, however, borosilicate remains the gold standard for advanced imaging applications.
The appropriate cleaning protocol for coverslips depends on the material and intended application. Improper cleaning can compromise imaging quality or introduce contaminants, which could subsequently impact research outcomes, particularly in high-resolution or cell-based experiments. We can provide the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning guidelines for all of our coverslip products to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
