The AutoFrost IHC 90° Microscope Slides are specialized glass slides designed with an enhanced hydrophilic coating for applications requiring strong tissue adherence, particularly in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows, as well as for handling delicate samples such as nails and tissues. Their innovative design ensures superior performance, compatibility, and ease of use in demanding laboratory settings.
Key Features
1. Enhanced Coating
- Proprietary Hydrophilic Coating:
- Allows tissue sections to be re-floated in a water bath for precise repositioning.
- Strong adherence prevents tissue detachment during processing, staining, or washing.
- Special Adherence Properties:
- Ideal for IHC and applications involving challenging samples like nails and other delicate tissues.
2. Compatibility
- Fully compatible with all IHC platforms, including advanced systems like Ventana.
- Suitable for use in both manual and automated staining protocols.
3. Slide Design
- 90° Square Corners:
- Provides a large usable surface area for sample preparation.
- Simplifies handling and alignment on automated platforms.
- Dimensions:
- Standard microscope slide dimensions for universal compatibility with instruments and storage systems.
4. Packaging
- Packaged in boxes of 100 slides, ensuring easy storage and accessibility while maintaining slide integrity during transportation.
Applications
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC):
- Enhances tissue adherence during antigen retrieval, antibody staining, and wash steps.
- Ensures tissue integrity throughout staining and visualization processes.
- Nail and Hard Tissue Analysis:
- Special coating prevents detachment of challenging samples like nails, bone, and keratinized tissues.
- General Histology:
- Suitable for routine tissue staining protocols where sample integrity is critical.
- Specialized Research:
- Applicable in molecular biology, pathology, and biomarker studies requiring precise tissue handling and staining.
Advantages
- Superior Adherence:
- Prevents tissue loss or movement during processing, ensuring reliable results.
- Repositioning Capability:
- Hydrophilic coating allows repositioning of sections in the water bath for optimal orientation.
- Broad Compatibility:
- Seamless integration with all major IHC platforms, including automated systems.
- Cost-Effective Packaging:
- Packaged in convenient boxes of 100 slides to minimize waste and maximize utility.
- Enhanced Workflow Efficiency:
- Reduces the need for repeat staining due to tissue detachment or misalignment.
