Tissue and cell substrates stick rapidly on StarFrost® adhesive slides without using further adhesives or protein coating media. This saves costly and time consuming preparation techniques. The adhesive coating is restricted to the top surface and therefore to the usable area only, and the underside is untreated. This means the slides do not tend to stick when stacked or transported as with other competitive products and difficulties with marking are also avoided.

• Single frosted, colour coded marking area (20mm)
• Washed and polished 76 x 26mm
• 45° ground edges
• Tacky surface area for greater adhesion
• Poly-L-Lysine coating
• Developed for research in anatomy, cell immunology, molecular biology and surgical molecular pathology
• The action on frozen tissue is based on electrostatical and chemical attractions e.g. formalin fixed tissues, paraffin embedded tissues, cyto-centrifuged substrates and cytological smears with alcohol fixed tissues or non cross-bound fixed tissues of plants, animals or humans
• Especially suitable to attract and stick striped or cell cultures
• Less sensitive to chemicals, enzyme inhibition or to heating (﹤65°C) and are therefore more applicable for immunocytochemical molecular-hybridisation arrays
• Tissue sticks automatically independent of fixation and not by covalent bonds
• Even during multiple staining processes these cytological substrates do not peel off
• Floating off of tissues during longer in situ DNS hybridisation techniques and immunocytochemical methods no longer occurs
