OverviewX-tra Slides feature a positively charged coated surface formulated to promote adhesion of tissue sections and cytology specimens for demanding histology workflows. Surface is hydrophobic with an approximate 90° contact angle. Typical size: 1" x 3" x 0.04" unless otherwise noted.
Recommended uses- H&E (hematoxylin & eosin) procedures requiring enhanced tissue adhesion
- Special stains
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
- In situ hybridization (ISH)
- Cryosectioning
- Cytology preparations
