Tissue BondÖ

Proper tissue adhesion to the glass slides is critical in the immunostaining process. Improper adhesion of tissue sections can lead to poor quality staining or even loss of tissue sections during the process of immunostaining. White glue, albumen, chrome-gelatin and poly-L-lysine have been used as tissue adhesives; however, they can increase the background during the staining process. Since epitope recovery may require harsh treatment with proteolytic enzymes, microwave treatment or treatment with saponin etc., there is a need for a tissue adhesive which can irreversibly bind tissue sections to the glass without creating any background. Glass treated with TissueBond™ can be used for both paraffin as well as frozen tissue sections.
