SUPERFROST® PLUS - Adhesion Slide

These Superfrost Plus(+) glass slides are made by a new process which offers the following features

• They place a permanent positive charge in the microscope slide
• They electrostatically attract frozen tissue sections and cytology preparations, binding them to the slide
• They form a bridge so that covalent bonds develop between formalin fixed sections and the glass
• Tissue sections and cytological preparations adhere better to the Plus glass slides without the need for special adhesives or protein coatings

Benefits

• Plus glass puts an end to background staining
• It eliminates blue or red background staining which is often encountered in hematoxylin and eosin staining of tissue sections mounted on albuminized glass
• No brown background staining occurs when immuno-peroxidase or in situ DNA procedures are performed on our Plus glass. A higher degree of enzyme digestion can be performed on plus glass without the loss of tissue sections
• Cytological preparations placed on Plus glass resist cell loss during enzyme digestion, DNA denaturation and RNA hybridization
• Plus glass improves tissue adherence in microwave staining
• Chromic acid washes are redundant for molecular hybridization because the slides are RNAse-free
• Plus slides are Color coded to help keep track of specimens during processing as well as filing

The slides measure: 25 x 75 mm, 1 mm thick.
