[Histonet] Plastic coverslip Loosening

[Morken, Timothy]

A warning on the Mount-Quick...

We have used this for years for our histochemistry slides but we stopped using Quickmount recently when we got a batch that failed - it seemed a bit more viscous than usual while coverslipping and then a couple months later all the coverslips were found to be loosening as the media dried up and peeled off the slide, along with the coverslip. We have had to re-coverslip hundreds of slides.

Our last order to Newcomer for this product was never filled so I'm wondering if they got other reports of a bad batch.

This may work. I have used a version of this product on glass coverslips and slides to transfer paraffin sections.

Hello, I did try and search the archives to see if there was any advice on this but didn't find an answer.

Do you know of a good way to fix H&E slides that had plastic coverslips where the coverslip is lifting from the slide and in some cases coming completely off? In all cases the tissue is on the coverslip.

Thanks in advance.
