Hi.
For many years we used Nunc Lab-Tek chambered coverglasses. They were great.
However, they recently began shipping a different design with the same product number. The chambers no longer fit in our microscope stages inserts. Also, the volume changed.
see http://www.flickr.com/photos/mcammer/sets/72157632984171809/
While we can adjust to the volume change, the plastic tab at the end of the chamber is a big problem.
I thought of having people cut the tab off before doing experiments, but this would produce a lot of plastic dust (and we'd have to buy a suitable saw or dremel).
Does anybody know of an alternative manufacturer or if the old style chambers are still available from somewhere?
Thanks!
Michael
