Superfrost Plus adhesion microscope slides, RNAse-free (EMS)

Our new Superfrost Plus glass slides are made by a new process offering 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 haematoxylin and eosin staining of tissue sections mounted on albuminised 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 hybridisation
• Plus glass improves tissue adherence in microwave staining
• Chromic acid washes are redundant for molecular hybridisation because the slides are RNAse-free
• Plus slides are Colour coded to help keep track of specimens during processing as well as filing
• The slides measure: 25 x 75mm, 1mm thick.
