Improved Analysis of Cell Lines and Neural Stem Cells with Millicell EZ slides

Lit No:AN0056EN00
Year:2011

Microscopic analysis of live cells has historically been performed by growing cells on cover slips and inverting them onto glass slides to place under a microscope. Because this process is often messy and inefficient, modern cell biology laboratories often use chambered slides to avoid transferring cells from culture vessels to microscope slides. Chambered slides are especially convenient for immunocytochemistry, in which fluorescent stains are used to visualize cell markers and substructures. The new Millicell EZ slide enables cell biologists to culture, treat, fix, stain, and view cells all directly on a microscope slide.

Advantages:
  • Millicell EZ slides are chemically compatible with most fixing and staining reagents, eliminating the need to remove chambers prior to analysis.
  • Breakaway snap closure eliminates the risk of breaking slides when removing wells (Figure 1).
  • Wells detach easily from the slides without glue or gasket residue.
  • No tools are required to detach wells from the slide.
