In regards to the slides mentioned,  we use sailinized slides that we did
ourselves.  I don't understand why they thought it was a"pain"  because its
done the same way, other thatn you rinse well in distilled water after
dipping.   We fill up our slide racks and usually dip about 6oo slides at a
run.  We purchase the silane solution from Surgipath.  Our tissues stay on
great.
