Re: [Histonet] Film Coverslip

[Carol Fields via Histonet]

We used Mercedes tape and it worked ok.  It is thicker and one pathologist 
preferred it.  The drawback was you had to keep the Coverslipper clean or it 
would get sticky and cause problems.
We had no staining issues.
Have a great weekend.

At previous place of employment we used Statlab's tape - absolutely no problems

Of course Sakura is going to warn against using any other product but theirs.

If you are using the Sakura instrument, please do not use other film than

Have you ever tried blotting your slides dry before putting them into the oven? 
 The veteran who taught me this trick used it on brain tissues from the 
Coroner's office (in the early 80s--don't wanna offend anyone) which were 
grossed very thickly and were always poorly processed.   She never used charged 
slides or additives in her waterbath.  She claimed she was the only one in her 
lab who was "allowed" to cut this stuff because everyone else's slides had 
tissue loss!  I can tell you from my experience that it works well for toenail 
which is notorious for detaching from slides.  I've used it on many other 
tissues as well.

Anyway, press a slightly moistened clean L'Absorb or paper towel down onto the 
section after microtomy.  You don't want the paper towel soaking wet--just 
damp.  This will effectively wick the section of any excess moisture.  Then 
incubate and stain as usual.  

Good luck.

both 5 and 10 microns and my tissue is still not sticking to my slides. I know 
my sectioning is fine because I'm successful with every other tissue I've ever

slides. I was using charged slides and I even tried poly-L-lysine slides, but

leaving them in the incubator for more than the usual 48-72 hours. I know it's

What was meant by incubator and at what temperature?   It helps to dry
sections FLAT, at 37 to 40C for several days.  Do NOT dry at 60C.   

 

If the sections are not staying on plus charge or poly L lysine coated slides,  
then use chrome gelatin subbing solution in a water bath OR by
pre-subbing clean microscope slides.

 

This is the Chrome gelatin protocol that worked for our huge decalcified bone 
sections and or problem bone sections. 

 

Chrome Gelatin Subbing Solution:  Section/Slide Coating Adhesive

 

0.1 g Chromium Potassium Sulfate (this is toxic.  Collect for proper disposal, 
not down the drain is you pre-sub the slides). 

1.0 g Gelatin:  100 bloom, Sigma.  For large bone sections, use 200 or 300
bloom gelatin, Sigma).   200 and 300 bloom gelatins are very large gelatin
molecules made from pig collagen.  100 bloom is a much smaller molecule than
200 bloom.   Do NOT use household (cooking)  gelatin used for
cooking. Buy the pure gelatins only. 

1 liter Distilled Water

 

Dissolve chromium potassium sulfate and gelatin in hot but not 
boiling water.  Cool subbing solution before use, and store in refrigerator.  
If gelatin gets growth, discard, make new.  A few crystals of Thymol in stock 
subbing solution can help prevent growth. 

 

DO NOT USE PLUS CHARGE SLIDES WITH SUBBING SOLUTION.   GELATIN COATS OVER A
PLUS CHARGE COATING AND NEGATES THE POSITIVE CHARGE.  

 

For presubbing glass slides, wash these by dipping in acetone, air dry before 
using the pre-subbing protocol to get rid of any greasy/oily residues
on glass surface.   If you put the subbing solution in a water bath,
uncoated,  glass slides will

Hi Histotechs,
We have fried GI biopsies this morning and I remember a solution you can
soak them in to reprocess them and hopefully make them diagnosable.  It
has been several years since I used this solution so I do not have the
recipe.  Does anyone out there Derm lab, or anywhere that knows how
to back this tissue up to salvage it?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
