Products classified under HTS 7017.90.10.00
Precleaned Glass Microscope Slides
Standard 25x75mm glass slides that are precleaned and ready for immediate use in microscopy. They are classified under HTS 7017.90.10.00 as microscope slides, which are essential laboratory glassware for holding specimens under a microscope.
Frosted End Microscope Slides
Glass microscope slides with one frosted end for pencil or ink labeling of specimens. These plain slides without coverslips are specifically designed for laboratory microscopy and fall under HTS 7017.90.10.00.
Borosilicate Micro Cover Glasses
Thin 22x22mm No. 1 borosilicate cover glasses used to cover specimens on microscope slides. They are precision glassware for laboratories, classified under HTS 7017.90.10.00 as micro cover glasses.
Round Microscope Cover Slips
12mm diameter circular glass cover slips for specialized microscopy applications like cell culture. These are micro cover glasses under HTS 7017.90.10.00, distinct from square formats.
Charged Microscope Slides
Adhesion-treated glass slides with positive charge to hold tissue sections without clips. Despite surface treatment, they remain microscope slides under HTS 7017.90.10.00 for lab use.
Superfrost Plus Slides
Proprietary frosted slides with aqueous-based adhesive coating for superior specimen adhesion. Branded lab slides classified as microscope slides under HTS 7017.90.10.00.
Tissue Culture Micro Slides
Sterile glass slides optimized for cell attachment in tissue culture microscopy. They qualify as microscope slides under HTS 7017.90.10.00 despite sterile packaging.
Poly-L-Lysine Coated Cover Glasses
German borosilicate cover glasses coated with poly-L-lysine for protein/cell adhesion. Surface treatment doesn't change classification as micro cover glasses under HTS 7017.90.10.00.
Clip-On Microscope Slide Holders
No—wait, focus on slides. Actually: 76x26mm Clip-Rite™ Slides with built-in clip feature. Innovative glass slides classified under HTS 7017.90.10.00 as microscope slides.
Fluorescence Microscope Slides
Low-autofluorescence glass slides for fluorescent microscopy applications. Special composition qualifies as microscope slides under HTS 7017.90.10.00.
