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, chromegelatin and poly-L-lysine are used as tissue adhesives.

A dry temporary adhesive film, 0.003" thick, which can be easily cut to size with either a razor or scissor. This mount permits pre-placement of the adhesive film exactly where the user wants it. It melts at 195-210°F. After application it can be dissolved rapidly in trichloroethylene or toluene. This material is particularly useful in applications where a pre-formed adhesive film is needed to assure uniform bonding and flatness or in bonding stacks of substrates such as LCD glass slides for slicing. Sheet size 8"x10".
