Applications

Superfrost Plus slides are a standard in histology, pathology, and cell biology laboratories. The positively charged surface binds tissue sections and cell preparations electrostatically, dramatically reducing section loss during staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocols — a common problem with plain glass slides, especially in extended or high-temperature antigen retrieval procedures. They are widely used in clinical pathology labs, research hospitals, and academic life science departments for routine H&E staining, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization (FISH/ISH), and cytology preparations. Superfrost Plus slides are also a standard substrate for mounting cryostat sections, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, and cytospin preparations. Their precleaned surface and consistent 1.0 mm thickness make them compatible with standard automated slide stainers and coverslippers.
