[Histonet] Re: Request for Non-fluorescent Sealant

[Paul Scott]

Hi John,

 

My company SciGene has a product called CytoBond Removable Coverslip Sealant
that was designed for use in FISH as replacement to rubber cement for
temporarily sealing of the coverslips during probe hybridization.  Customers
tell us how much easier it is to remove as opposed to rubber cement.

If you send me your details I can get a free sample out to you.  It is
usually completely removed (with no remainder left behind) during imaging so
I cannot provide feedback as to its autoflouresence over a spectral range.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone would know of a sealant that is
non-fluorescent (or doesn't leak). I am using a biorad duo chamber slide
which has two slots for each chamber, I need to measure the fluorescence of
some sample but Rubber Cement and the nail polish I have tried have both had
some interfering fluorescence. Any help is appreciated!
