I have tried several brands all have the same problem some worse than others.
But even worse than the coverslips are the slides. I cut a lot of frozen
sections on charged slides for fluorescent labeling the slides are dirty and
the dirt gets trapped under the tissue as well as around it. The dirt is auto
fluorescent. Sometimes it is hard to tell label from auto fluorescence. I have
tried slides from multiple vendors and all seem to have the same problem. Does
anyone have a good vendor for clean charged slides.

Hello, Our lab does IHC staining in house and have had zero problems with our
Fisher brand cover slips until recently. We've tried both Fisher and Corning
cover slips and what appears to be dust or imperfections in the glass are found
on both brands. This is creating false positives for us, because when the
positive staining is low it is difficult to impossible to tell the
imperfections from the staining itself.
Any advice will be welcome.
