Sharon:

We use the Leica coverslipper with Richard Allan mounting media and we clear
in xylene.  We have never experienced the problem you mention.

Subject: coverslipping problem


Dear Fellow Histonetters:
I have been running into some coverslipping issues regarding my glass
coverslipper.   I have tried a number of mountants and solvents without yet
I still have coverslips that are falling off (not as bad as the previous
tape coverslipper)about 30% of the time.  For all those of you who own a
glass coverslipper what type of mountant and clearing agent do you use?
Have you experienced or seen this before?
Thanks in advance!
