We are staining 5um FFPE sections of laser-treated human cartilage and are
experiencing sections falling off the slides and, if not, then wrinkling. (We
even had this problem with untreated cartilage, but it is worse with
laser-treated).
I know this topic has been discussed before and went to the Histonet archives,
but did not get a clear answer to my query. Most of the discussion re:
superfrost plus gold slides involved frozen sections, but I did not get a clear
answer re: paraffin-embedded sections.
We are currently using superfrost plus slides. I have been looking in the
literature re: coated slides, but it is confusing. What do most histonetters
recommend? (i.e. poly-l-lysine, gelatin, or silane coated
Slides). Do you recommend superfrost plus gold slides?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
