Re: egg albumin/nail adhesion to glass slides
Hi,
I wouldn't use egg
albumin. There are plenty of cost effective, commercially available charged and
coated slides. You'll probably spend more on the slides by buying the plain ones
and then paying a tech to coat them. There is always a chance of error
too.
If the coat
isn't even or there is too much on the slide, the albumin will show up when you
stain the slide. It is really easy to get egg parts in the preparation which
would make an interesting contaminant. Contact Fisher CMS or
Shandon.
good luck,
Amos Brooks

Subject: egg albumin/nail adhesion to
glass slides
Please help me with the
following two questions that my teacher posed to us:
1. How to
prepare egg albumin. An end product that will smear on to the glass slide for
tissue adhesion.
2. How to successfully keep nail samples adhere
to the glass slide during staining. Are there alternative methods other than
the product above?
I would greatly appreciate the help with these
questions.
Dana
