Assessing Adhesion Slide PerformanceAcross Histology Applications
DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
Adhesion slides are widely preferred for IHC to aid in securing tissue sections to the slide and prevent reworks that could potentially postpone a patient diagnosis and drive-up costs in the lab.
The cost of reworking a failed IHC slide due to poor tissue adhesion is estimated to be ~$80 per slide, considering the reagent cost and workload administration.
Adhesion slides reinforce tissue adherence and integrity, minimizing the need to recut and restain the sample to ensure proper tissue morphological characteristics. Adhesion slides may also be used for H&E stains and special stains for added adhesion, but could retain excess reagent, or background
staining, on the slide.
