Adhesion microscope slides



Adhesion microscope slides from MENZEL are well established glass products that place an advanced adhesive surface on standard microscope slides. These slides provide superior cell and tissue adhesion and save money and laboratory time by eliminating the need for expensive adhesives and time-consuming coating techniques. Menzel Adhesion microscope slides are offered under four different categories


SuperFrost Ultra Plus®

SuperFrost Ultra Plus® slides are made by using a new process ensuring firm electrostatic attraction of cytological samples, frozen tissue sections, or formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin (or resin) sections

These slides are made by using a new process ensuring firm electrostatic attraction to the slide of cytological samples, frozen tissue sections, or formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin (or resin) sections.

Advantages of SuperFrost Ultra Plus®

 

ends background staining in standard H&E Stains
binds difficult cytological preparations
improves tissue adherence in microwave assisted special staining
ends tissue loss in immunoperoxidase procedures using heat induced antigen / epitope retrieval( HIER, HMAR or HTAR ) *
optimises section adherence for in-situ-hybridisation techniques
saves time spent on subbing slides or on unnecessary repeating
helps standardise and improve reproducibility of your routine diagnostic staining procedures

 

* EDTA may attack glass. As a general rule, antigen retrieval should not exceed parameters ( exposure time / temperature ) of published protocols. For EDTA this should be max. ~2 min. at 120°C; or max. ~15 min. at 100°C min.

The SuperFrost Ultra Plus slide is also available with ground 90° and 45° edges. The slides with 45° ground edges are well situated for automated equipment.

SuperFrost Ultra Plus®


SuperFrost® Plus

The SuperFrost® Plus glass slide is the time and money saving advance that Anatomic and Molecular Pathology laboratories have been waiting for. It ends the need for slide preparation in the lab; it virtually eliminates background staining in standard H & E Stains, and it has proven to be superior for cell adhesion in cytocentrifuge preparations in standard Papanicolaou smears.

 

SuperFrost® Plus glass slides are made by a process which:

Places a permanent positive charge on standard microscope slides.
Electrostatically attracts fresh frozen tissue sections and cytology preparations, binding them to the slide.
Forms a bridge so that covalent bonds develop between formalin fixed sections and the glass.

 

Fixed paraffin tissue sections and cytological preparations adhere better to the SuperFrost® Plus glass slides without the need for special adhesives or protein coatings, eliminating the need to sub slides.

 

The SuperFrost® Plus glass ends background staining:

Eliminating blue or red background staining often encountered in hematoxylin and eosin staining of tissue sections mounted on albuminized glass.
No brown background staining occurs when immunoperoxidase or in-situ DNA procedures are performed on SuperFrost® Plus glass. Higher degrees of enzyme digestion can be performed during these procedures without the loss of tissue sections.
Cytologic preparations placed on SuperFrost® Plus glass resist cell loss during enzyme digestion, DNA denaturation and RNA hybridization.
SuperFrost® Plus glass improves tissue adherence in microwave staining.

Polysine™

Polysine™ slides place an advanced, permanent adhesive in standard microscope slides. Polysine™ slides provide superior cell and tissue adhesion and save money and laboratory time by eliminating the need for expensive adhesives and time-consuming coating techniques.

 

Polysine™ glass slides offer state-of-the-art adhesion. These glass slides are made from revolutionary technology with built-in properties that electrostatically and chemically attract:

Fresh frozen tissue sections.
Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections.
Cytocentrifuge preparations and cytology smears.
Alcohol fixed paraffin embedded tissues.
Bouin's or non-crosslinking fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections.

 

Polysine™ slides are not affected by enzyme predigestion or heating, making them ideal for immunocytochemical and molecular hybridization assays on cell preparations or paraffin embedded tissue sections.

 

Added advantages of Polysine™ glass slides:

Resist cell loss during extended staining procedures.
End tissue loss in prolonged in-situ DNA hybridization techniques and in immunocytochemistry methods.
Offer slide adhesion that is superior to glue, protein or silane treated slides.

 

Polysine™ slides are not only designed for the research anatomist, cellular immunologist and molecular biologist, but also for today's surgical and molecular pathologist.

Polysine™


SuperFrost® Plus Gold

These slides are specially designed for the application of fresh or formalin fixed frozen tissue.

 

SuperFrost® Plus GOLD slides are made by a revolutionary new glass adhesive technology which first attracts and then chemically bonds fresh or formalin fixed frozen tissue sections firmly to the surface of the slide.

SuperFrost® Plus GOLD slides securely attach frozen breast, brain, skin and other normally difficult to bond tissue sections to the slide.
SuperFrost® Plus GOLD slides are ideal when special stains, immunocytochemical and in-situ DNA hybridization techniques are applied on fresh frozen and formalin fixed frozen tissue sections.
SuperFrost® Plus GOLD also assists tissue adherence during immunohistochemical analysis of estrogen and progesterone receptors in fresh frozen breast tissues.
SuperFrost® Plus GOLD slides are compatible with both toluidine blue and hematoxylin and eosin rapid frozen sections stains.

 

When the needle biopsy of kidney, the shave biopsy of skin, or the lymph node sample presents you limited tissue for the immunoflourescent analysis, make every section count with SuperFrost® Plus GOLD slides.
