Should help if you use detergents and, of course, they are cheaper.

Dear Lin,
Thanks for your post. Could you please tell me, which other places
sell siliconized cover slides?
Best regards from

Hi Sang Hoon,
When you have a crystal stuck to non-siliconized glass you will
appreciate coated cover slips. The crystal appears to be superglued
onto the glass surface. This can also happen when you transfer a crystal
to another glass plate (e.g. depression plate) and it sinks down to the
bottom.
The siliconized glass will cause the crystallization drop to bead up
more, whereas the untreated glass will cause some mixtures with a low
surface tension to spread like a Bose fluid.
