If the name on the slide box is Super Frost Plus Charge, these are made by 
Erie, under registered trademark.  The key is to look for that 
trademark.   If one has doubts about who makes the slides, ask a vendor or 
call Erie.

Under VWR and Fisherbrand labels, with box also saying Super Frost Plus 
Charge all have the registered trademark =  Erie manufactured slides.

VWR and Fisher are not the only ones who buy slides from Erie and have the 
company name (not Erie) on slide boxes.  Sometimes these slides are custom 
designs for particular immunostainers.  One comes to mind here.

Key to identity:  look for that trademark, even though the company name is 
different.

If the name if NOT Super Frost Plus Charge, then it is NOT an Erie product.

A very confusing issue at times.
