[Histonet] Coverslipping

[Jessica Riggleman]

Hello,

Would anyone mind sharing their procedure after coverslipping a slide?

Do you let the slide sit and dry? Do you use xylenes to wipe of the extra mounting medium immediately?

I noticed after storing the slides in a slide box, a lot of dust collects. Is this because of the xylenes? Should I wipe the slide with alcohol or wrap them to prevent this? What do you use to wrap your slides?

Please keep in mind they are large, 2x3 slides.

Thank you for all of your input,

Best,
Jessica Riggleman
