I have found that the Surgipath plus coated slides that are manufactured by
them (not an Erie slide) are more adhesive than the VWR slides. As far as I
know, Surgipath is the only other manufacturer of plus coated slides besides
Erie.  Sarah

I believe the issue with Ventana saying only Plus slides from 
Fisher or VWR is that these are all Erie slides and that is the 
surface that holds best for the Ventana system.  You may find slides
cheaper
however, check to see what the original manufacturer is so the sections

stay on the slides better.
