Available Models & Product Codes

What Are Adhesive Microscope Slides?

Adhesive Microscope Slides are specially coated glass slides designed to improve the attachment of tissue sections and cellular specimens to the glass surface.

During histological preparation and staining, tissue sections may become detached due to heat treatment, washing, chemical exposure or other processing conditions.

An adhesive coating helps improve tissue retention and supports specimen integrity throughout suitable laboratory procedures.

These slides are particularly useful when routine plain glass slides do not provide sufficient adhesion for the intended tissue type or staining protocol.

Hydrophilic Surface and Tissue Adhesion

The SC2 adhesive slide features a hydrophilic surface combined with an adhesion-promoting coating.

A hydrophilic surface allows water to spread more readily across the glass, supporting tissue section positioning and wetting during specimen preparation.

The adhesive coating is responsible for promoting tissue attachment.

These are related but different surface properties: hydrophilicity describes wettability, while adhesion strength describes how effectively a tissue section remains attached to the slide.

The combination is designed to support convenient tissue mounting and reliable specimen retention in appropriate laboratory workflows.

Adhesive Microscope Slides for IHC and Antigen Retrieval

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) involves several processing steps, including deparaffinization, antigen retrieval, washing, antibody incubation and staining.

These procedures can place additional demands on tissue adhesion.

SC2 Adhesive Microscope Slides are designed for tissue retention applications involving:

• Routine IHC staining

• Heat-Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER)

• Multiple washing cycles

• Enzyme digestion procedures

• Paraffin-embedded tissue sections

• Selected frozen tissue sections

Performance depends on the tissue type, section thickness, coating specification, retrieval conditions and staining protocol. Sample testing under the intended laboratory conditions is recommended before bulk purchasing.

Applications for Difficult Tissue Sections

Adhesive Microscope Slides are particularly useful for tissue specimens that require enhanced attachment.

Brain Tissue

Supports tissue section retention during histological preparation and staining.

Adipose Tissue

Provides an adhesion-promoting surface for fatty tissue sections that may be difficult to retain during processing.

Skin Tissue

Suitable for selected skin histology and pathology procedures.

Bone Tissue

Can be considered for bone sections according to the decalcification process and laboratory staining protocol.

Tissue Microarray (TMA)

Designed for tissue microarray applications where retaining multiple small tissue cores during repeated processing is important.

Compatibility with Automated IHC Staining Systems

SC2 Adhesive Microscope Slides are designed for manual staining and selected automated immunohistochemistry workflows.

The relevant automated staining platform families include:

• Roche Ventana

• Leica Biosystems

• Agilent Dako

Compatibility should be confirmed according to the specific instrument model, slide dimensions, corner configuration, rack requirements and staining protocol.

We recommend evaluating samples on the customer's actual staining equipment before introducing the slides into routine diagnostic workflows.

Color-Frosted Marking Area and Printer Compatibility

Each slide features a single color-frosted marking area at one end for specimen identification and laboratory record keeping.

Available colors include:

• White

• Blue

• Green

• Yellow

• Pink

• Orange

The marking area is designed for manual writing and selected laboratory printing applications, including:

• Thermal Transfer Slide Printers

• Inkjet Slide Printers

• Laser Slide Marking Systems

Printer compatibility depends on the coating formulation, printer model, ink or ribbon and operating parameters. Sample testing is recommended to verify printing quality, barcode readability and resistance to routine laboratory processing.
