Either design will accommodate round or square coverslips. The tissue to be labeled can be on a coverslip or slide because both are employed to create a uniform capillary gap. The unique adhesive properties of the mesas, in the design of the PELCO Stain Saver, provide adhesion of either Thermanox or glass coverslips to the mesa tops. For conventional immunohistochemistry (overnight or longer incubations) the PELCO Storage Box serves as an ideal humid chamber. Each kit contains a staining pad insert inside a black box. T-1 and 2 kits will accommodate 3 each 1 in. x 3 in. or 1 each 2 in. x 3 in. slides. The capillary gap with a #2 coverslip is 320um.

PEL21092 - T-1 Kit (insert and black box) is designed for any shape or size coverslip for 1" x 3" or 2" x 3" slides
PEL21095 - T-2 Kit is designed when two tissues are to be stained with two different antibodies, coverslip size 22 x 22mm or smaller
