[Histonet] Fw: Shur/Mount Coverslipper

[Joanne Mauger]

Mary,

In reference to the mounting medium for the Hacker- Permount is toluene based. If you use xylene as a clearing agent, you should use a xylene based mounting medium. The toluene based one will dry out real quickly, and you will have coverslips popping off,and lots of extra work.

If anyone has a newer model of this automatic coverslipper (formerly Hacker, now TBS), please tell me which mounting medium has worked best. I understand from the sales rep that we can not use Permount on this machine. Any comments?
