Are your slides sticky enough for tricky tissues?
16 Jun 2025Tissue loss during IHC staining is more than a nuisance—it’s a costly threat to diagnostic integrity. Failed slides mean delayed results, additional labor, and higher reagent costs, particularly for challenging tissue types like breast or skin.
This new StatLab white paper, “Are your slides sticky enough?” compares leading adhesion slides under rigorous IHC testing, including aggressive antigen retrieval protocols. The KT5+™ Premium Adhesion Slides emerge with the strongest performance and lowest failure rates—making them a smart choice for labs that can't afford to compromise.
Why this resource matters:
In a climate of tighter budgets and rising case complexity, this guide helps lab professionals reduce costly slide rework and maintain high diagnostic quality.

Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.ImmunohistochemistryImmunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to detect specific proteins in tissue samples by using antibodies that bind to target antigens. IHC is widely applied in pathology, immunology, hematology and cancer diagnostics.
