KNITTEL GLASS StarFrost® Advanced Adhesive Microscope Slides 76mm x 26mm 50pcs

The positively charged StarFrost® Advanced Adhesive slides from Knittel Germany are developed specifically for IHC (immunohistochemistry) and harder applications. These slides show stronger adhesion characteristics than other StarFrost boards and cover a wide range of applications. They do not allow the tissue to fall better than any other plate. The quality of the coating has been tested through many cancer research laboratories and with different equipment, such as Ventana Discovery XT / Benchmark and Leica Bond-Max.

StarFrost® Advanced Adhesive slides are based on Dr. Stöcker's fundamental research and testing. The special treatment of the surface with silane coating creates permanent free polar bonds on the surface, which also through electrostatic attraction ensures adhesion of the cell and the tissue and supports the formation of covalent bonds between the tissue and the glass surface. Tissue and cell substrates adhere quickly to StarFrost® slides without the use of further adhesives or protein coatings. This saves on expensive and time consuming preparation techniques. StarFrost® slides have proven their worth and have come out on top as a real alternative to cell adhesion, e.g. for tissues, paraffin sections.

StarFrost® slides are manufactured exclusively at Knittel's headquarters in Braunschweig (Germany) in large batches using state-of-the-art production lines developed and manufactured by Knittel. The advantage of StarFrost® slides is the reduction of the adhesive coating on the upper surface of the plates and thus only on the useful surface only. On StarFrost® slides the underside is raw and therefore slides do not tend to stick when stacked or transported, as with other competing products.

StarFrost® slides do not show streaks or discoloration in the background, such as the blue or red background obtained by using hematoxylin and eosin stains on tissues in albumin-coated plates, or the brown background obtained during the immunoperoxidation process or In -situ-DNS-hybridization. During these procedures, StarFrost® slides allow for stronger enzyme induction without loss of tissue.

For molecular hybridization, washing with chromic acid is unnecessary, as the plates are RNSase free.
