Amoeba Slide
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11874
The StemAids Amoeba Prepared Slide is a professionally mounted biological specimen engineered for the empirical study of unicellular eukaryotes. This slide features a whole mount (W.M.) of Amoeba proteus, captured in a state that preserves its characteristic irregular shape and cytoplasmic structures. Manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 standards, it is a fundamental resource for University and School biology laboratories to explore cellular anatomy, pseudopodia-based movement, and phagocytosis.

Key Pedagogical Outcomes (Bloom’s Taxonomy Alignment)
- Protozoan Interface: Facilitates student understanding of the Kingdom Protista and the unique characteristics of rhizopods.
- Structural Quantification: Enables the identification of organelles; learners apply medium-power magnification to distinguish between the ectoplasm (clear outer layer) and endoplasm (granular inner region).
- Locomotion Analysis: Supports the analysis of "Amoeboid Movement"; students evaluate the formation of pseudopodia (false feet) and how they are used for both movement and capturing prey.
- Homeostasis Evaluation: Allows students to evaluate the role of the contractile vacuole in osmoregulation, identifying how unicellular organisms maintain water balance in freshwater environments.
International Logistics & Compliance
StemAids ensures comprehensive OEM readiness for global institutional procurement:
- Packaging: Export-grade secure slide mailers. Each slide is individually indexed and nested in shock-absorbent cushioning to ensure zero-breakage during international transit.
- Documentation: Includes Manufacturer’s Authorization Form (MAF), Certificate of Conformance (CoC), and a biological datasheet.
- Durability: The specimen is chemically fixed and permanently mounted, ensuring it remains color-fast and free from deterioration for decades when stored in standard dark laboratory cabinets.
Direct OEM Sourcing Advantages
Procuring the StemAids Amoeba Prepared Slide directly ensures vertical manufacturing control:
- Optimal Specimen Density: We ensure that each slide contains multiple well-spread specimens, guaranteeing that every student can easily locate an Amoeba without tedious searching.
- Vivid Differential Staining: Direct oversight of the staining process ensures that the nucleus is sharply defined against the cytoplasm, facilitating easier identification of cellular components.
- Direct Factory Inventory: Guaranteed availability of single slides or bulk classroom sets (packs of 25/50) to support synchronized laboratory sessions.
- Quality Assurance: Every batch is manually inspected by a biological technician to ensure the specimens show diverse pseudopodial extensions and are free from debris or air bubbles.
