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. Adhesion slides reinforce tissue adherence and integrity, minimizing the need to recut and restain the sample to ensure proper tissue morphological characteristics.
After wide-ranging testing of adhesion slide characteristics, this study exhibited that not all adhesion slides are created equal. While water bath behavior showed to not be a relevant factor, there was considerable variation in background staining and tissue adhesion between slides. The results of this study suggested that it is important to determine what the needs are for your laboratory based on the types of staining done and tissue types used. It is also important to test adhesion slides to find the right slide or slides for your laboratory applications.
