alternative to coverslips for in situ
Tracey,
I have recently been introduced to
"clavies" for use for in situ. They are rectangles cut from
autoclave bags and used in place of coverslips during the
procedure. By rolling an applicator stick over the top I can get
the bubbles out without damaging the tissue. The price is
right! There is just one drawback, static electricity. After the
procedure we find these little clavies all over the room They tend to
cling to me and mark a trail of where I've been. I sometimes wonder if
that is why my lab manager suggested using them.

Hello Histonetters,
A colleague of mine asked me to post this topic. She has previously
been
getting plasic coverslips to be used for in-situ from a company
called
Oncor. This company has recently folded (unknown reason) and she
wants to
know if the company has a new name, or if anyone knows of another
source
for these.
Our thoughts are with everyone involved in the Washington and New
York
disasters.
Tracey Gunn.
