Microwave-assisted Immunostaining on Glass Slides

using the Sequenza Slide Rack and Coverplate system

The Sequenza Slide Rack, holding 10 glass slides and Coverplates, is a system designed for the immunolabeling of sections on glass slides. While originally designed for bench techniques, this system is uniquely suited for microwave-assisted applications.

The Slide Rack holds glass slides with a Coverplate. This combination forms a capillary gap between the slide and the plate.
Reagent volumes, especially antibody, are greatly reduced using this versatile system. A reagent hopper forms the uppermost part of the plastic Coverplate allowing for easy dispensing of reagent into the capillary gap.

Using a PELCO Microwave Processor with a PELCO ColdSpot, rapid immunostaining of sections on glass slides is reliable and easy.

Clean with 10% bleach solution and rinse with well water. Sequenza Slide Rack and Coverplate system is not dishwasher safe.
