Frequent washing when carrying out immuno-histochemical stains sometimes causes tissue sections to float off slides or cells to be lost from smear preparations. HistoBond® slides solve these problems. HistoBond® slides are ideal for in-situ hybridization.Even problematic tissues such as brain or spinal cord can be processed with the aid of HistoBond® slides in routine histology. The glass surface of the HistoBond® slide is loaded with a permanent positive charge which fastens securely all types of section to the glass. Proteinic adhesives, which often interfere with stains and immunoreactions or have disturbing background effects, are no longer required. This improves the quality of the preparations significantly. HistoBond®+ slides combine the characteristics of our HistoBond® line with frosted ends but are printed in various colours. Markings contrast especially well with the bright colours of HistoBond®+ slides' printed ends. This improves the secure identification of specimens. Different colours offer the possibility of colour coding (e.g. for methods of analysis, users, priorities, etc.). The thin coating of the marking area facilitates the processing of these slides on automated systems and prevents them from sticking together or being scratched. Tissue sections adhere to the glass when subjected to frequent washing or even cooking in the microwave. In most cases, this reliable bonding makes it possible to dispense with double experiments which saves time and reduces the costs of routine section preparations in the laboratory. Approved for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications according to IVD directive 98/79/EC, with CE-mark, recommended best before date and batch number for comprehensive information and traceability. Different colours offer the possibility of colour coding (e.g. for methods of analysis, users, priorities, etc.). The thin coating of the marking area facilitates the processing of these slides on automated systems and prevents them from sticking together or being scratched.
