Description
General description
Improve cell attachment and growth on coverslips with the versatile Nunc® Thermanox™ coverslips. These cell-culture treated coverslips are available in a number of shapes and sizes. The proprietary polyester material is highly resistant to solvents (e.g. xylene, acetone, acetic acid) and has a very low gas permeability. Suitable for cytostaining, mounting, embedding, or scintillation counting. Not recommended for phase contrast microscopy or techniques involving fluorescent stains.
Application
Suitable for cytostaining, mounting, embedding, or scintillation counting.
Features and Benefits
Cell culture-treated on one side for optimal cell attachment and growth. Treated side facing the packaging label.
Resistant to commonly used solvents (xylene, acetone, acetic acid) in most staining techniques with regular mounting and embedding materials.
Can be use with amyl acetate for EM preparations.
Suitable for use in scintillation counting.
Bendable with forceps, and can be cut with scissors, scalpel or microtome.
Do not flame to sterilize.
Do not handle with rubber gloves so as to avoid leaving toxic residues on the coverslips.
Autofluorescent in the range of 380nm to 545nm, not recommended for fluorescence stainings.
