HistoBond® Microscope slides and HistoBond® + Microscope slides

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. They 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. The 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.

Instructions for use:
In principle, Histobond® slides can be used for all types of tissue section.
Cultivate the sections in a pre-warmed bath of distilled water. Please do not add any adhesives to the water and make sure there are no oil residues floating in the water surface which could impede adhesion.
Allow the section to dry with care - either over a period of several hours at room temperature or for a shorter period at a slightly higher temperature (e.g. for 30 minutes at 55 °C). We recommend the drying temperature not to be too high for immunohistochemical stains as otherwise there might be a loss of antigenes.
