Special Requests

 

Newcomer Supply allows customers the option of ordering “special request” control slides for our histopathology and immunopathology product lines.  A special request allows a customer to modify any control slide product to meet their lab’s exact control needs.  Commonly requested changes are:

  • Tissue Placement
  • Drying Method
  • Section Thickness*
  • Slide Glass*

 

For these orders an “SR” is added to the end of the standard part number to signify the modification.  Special requests are made to order and may take up to 2-3 weeks to manufacture.

Additional costs applied to Special Request orders are the following:

    • $6.00 per 10 slide set
    • $12.00 per 98 slide set

*Additional fees may apply

 

Below are the options for special request orders.  If you do not find the option you are interested in please contact our Technical Support Department.

 

Tissue Placement

The standard tissue placement is mid-high on the slide.  Options for special request tissue placement are mid and low.
