Cell Culture 15 well coverslips

The coverglass is affixed to a thin microscopically transparent silicone base which secure to culture vessels by an electrostatic charge, not an adhesive, to prevent movement during cultivation. The silicone also acts as a hydrophobic barrier to isolate liquid reagents on glass. Individual coverglass with silicone backing can be adhered to a petri dish or plate. These can be easily removed one at a time from the dish during culture. Once removed, coverglass can be affixed to a microscope slide by means of the tacky silicone backing for routine processing, or placed cell side down onto a drop of reagent using the silicone backing as a cover to prevent evaporation. Features: Silicone backing peels off easily for conventional mounting on microscope slides During culture, cells may be imaged without interference from the optical grade silicone Eliminates coverglass overlapping during culture. Handle SecureSlips with forceps by the silicone backing to avoid damage to glass or cells Easily identify "cell side" of coverglass
