[Histonet] Question about Mercedes Medical star frost slides, comments?

[Kelly Boyd]

I made the switch to Mercedes a while back. I use their clipped corner slides (MER7200) because they work great on our slide printer. I also use their Plus Starfrost slides (MER7255) for our IHC. The sections stay on great, even through antigen retrieval. Probably the best plus slide I have used. Try their samples, I'm sure you will be pleased.

We use their cheaper ones - CAS 9308 W - and they work just fine. j

Hi All,
               I was wondering if anyone out there has used Mercedes
medical starfrost adhesive slides and how they hold up in IHC.
MER 7255 - Slides, adhesive, 90, Starfrost, 10 gross - $235. 
I am thinking about changing to these slides from our VWR superfrost
plus slides to save money but I would like to hear how they hold up in
IHC Ag retrieval etc... I have samples from them and will try them on
some IHC but I thought I'd get someone else's thoughts.  If you have an
opinion on the quality of the slides please let me know.
Thanks,

Jamie
