RE: solvent resistent labels
From: | "Charles W. Scouten, Ph.D." |
I used a Dremel vibrating engraver ($30) to scribe the label into the
glass itself. This is as quick as writing on a label, and only
chemicals that dissolve glass are going to take it off. Drawback is
that it is not as contrasty and easy to read as a black on white label,
but it can always be read.
Cordially,

Subject: solvent resistent labels
Need some product advice!
I am looking for some xylene resistant labels that I
can put on slides before they are run down to water
AND that will last through subsequent IHC staining and
dehydration beck to xylene. Some of the labels I have
used or heard of only resist xylene a short period of
time (15 minutes), then the glue starts to get goopy
and interferes with coverslipping. Is anybody using a
label that works really well?
Vendors welcome to reply but be prepared to send me
some sample labels to try!!
