[Histonet] Slides

[Barry Madigan]

We have no major problems with lifting of tissue on the BondMax
ImmunoStainer using SuperFrost Plus slides except for nerve tissue.
We perform a number of CD markers on nerve tissue and they all require heat
retrieval.
There just doesn't seem to be enough adhesion with these specimens.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar experience and
worked out a solution.

Hi all. Here's a question to end the week. Has anyone experienced any
problems with Surgipath "extra"(adhesive) slides? For example, getting
non-"extra" slides in boxes marked "extra" slides? Or a mix of "extra"and
non-"extra" in the same box?? Or are we the only lucky ones? I won't even
tell you how many new grey hairs I have.

On that note, I'd like some feedback on good quality adhesive (positively
charged/silane) slides.

Thanks for the  help. TGIF.
