Description
Made of high-definition and pre-washed glass with no stain or proteins in the surface, Deltalab’s STAR FROST 26 x 76mm Adhesive Slides feature a 20mm marking area, which is resistant to all common chemicals used in laboratories and may be marked with pencil, ballpoint pens, markers and different laboratory printers (e.g. Leica XPS). With ground 90° edges and non-clipped corners, each microscope slide is treated with a silane-coating that enables cell and tissue adhesion and holds the formation of convalent bonds between the tissue and glass surface with the use of electrostatic attraction, so tissue and cell substrates stick rapidly on the surface without using further adhesives or protein coating media, saving costs and time. This adhesive coating is restricted to the top surface and therefore to the usable area only. As the underside is untreated, the slides do not tend to stick when stacked or transported as with other competitive products. These adhesive slides do not show striae and disturbing background staining such as the blue or red background obtained with Haematoxylin and Eosin-staining of tissues on Albumin coated glass, or the brown background obtained during the Immunoperoxidase or in-situ DNA Hybridisation processes. They are ideal for molecular-hybridisation, as being DNAse and RNAse free there is no need of washing them with chromic-acid.
