VECTABOND™ Reagent (SP-1800) is designed to significantly increase the adherence of both frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue sections and cell preparations to glass slides and coverslips. Tissue sections will remain attached even when subjected to the most extreme conditions, such as high temperature antigen unmasking techniques and in situ hybridization. VECTABOND™ Reagent treated slides can be stored for long periods. This product chemically modifies the glass to form a highly adherent surface. VECTABOND™ Reagent is provided as 7 ml of concentrate that dilutes to 350 ml of treatment solution, sufficient for at least 500 standard slides. VECTABOND™ Reagent treated slides can be stored for long periods while still retaining their maximum adhesive properties. This product does not coat slides with a glue or denatured protein, but chemically modifies the glass to form a highly adherent surface. It is suitable for all types of tissue section preparations and avoids the common problems associated with traditional coating agents, such as instability and protease susceptibility.
