Permanox microscope slides

Permanox is a type of polystyrene plastic, strong, biologically inert material resistant to non-chlorinated hydrocarbons, acetone, and other EM reagents. Permanox slides allow you to do cell fixation and staining on the slide; they can be cut with scissors. Permanox has not been shown to be autofluorescent.

Microscope slides are 25 x 75mm.

NOTE: Long exposure to solvents will cause the slide to warp. Xylene and Toluene based mounting media should be avoided. Glycerol, gelatin, and other aqueous based media are recommended.
