[Histonet] Coverslips

For years we have used coverslips from Mercedes - the ones in a plain white box labeled in German. This year we have begun to have problems with them being dirty and having bits of glass on them that cause air bubbles when used on the automatic coverslipper. Is anyone else having this problem?
