Advanced Adhesive Slides are microscope slides with superior adhesive properties for use in advanced staining in immunohistology, cytology or microbiology.
These slides are designed to attract tissue sections and anchor them to the slide, without tissue loss or contamination, even during washing and other laboratory procedures, and with less background noise. They are available in a range of colours and with frosted tips for better sample organisation.
The advanced adhesive slides are made from low-iron, extra-white soda-lime float glass and feature a hydrophilic surface with a contact angle of around 30° and high adhesion. Beyond the inherent positive charge that promotes superior sample adhesion, advanced adhesive slides often incorporate proprietary technologies designed to further enhance sample stability during processing.

These enhancements can include advanced polymers or coatings that create an environment conducive to optimal tissue adhesion, ensuring minimal loss and maximum preservation of specimen integrity. Researchers engaged in high-throughput experiments or requiring maximum precision in molecular and cellular analyses are turning to advanced adhesive slides to meet the stringent demands of their research.
The advanced features of these slides make them indispensable tools in the modern microscopy toolbox. Their application extends to areas of research where standard adhesive slides might not suffice, enabling scientists to push back the boundaries of experimental design and achieve unprecedented levels of precision and reproducibility in their discoveries. Whether exploring complex cellular interactions, gene expression patterns or detailed morphological studies, the versatility and reliability of advanced adhesive slides make them a mainstay in the quest for scientific knowledge.
