[Histonet] SurPath PreCoat slides

[Donovan, Mark]

Dear All,

We were recently provided with a pack of SurePath PreCoat slides (REF
080-10010-02) from TriPath Imaging (Becton Dickinson) to try in
connection with their CytoRich cytology preservatives. We have been
using the slides and reagents manually rather than on the BD PrepStain
machine.

My Cyto people tell me that even without the use of the CytoRich
solution these slides seem considerably more "sticky" than our usual
Menzel superfrost plus or polysine slides. They are finding
significantly better cell attachment with Urines and fluids when used in
the Cytospin.

We are just curious to know what these slides are coated with. The
slides display a visible drying line at the very bottom edge so appear
to have been dipped in something. Our local BD rep was unable to
enlighten.

many thanks
