Introduction

Liquid water bath adhesive is used in Histology & Embedding staining, special stains, and immunoperoxidase procedures.


Uses/Limitations

For in-vitro diagnostic use only

Do not use if reagent is cloudy

Do not use past expiration date


Procedures

  1. Fill the water bath with water (DI or tap) and add 5-10ml per liter of warm water (40-46°C) to the bath.
  2. Stir the water gently to ensure Tissue Grip dissolves completely and is mixed well.
  3. Follow Lab SOP for section recovery, drying, and staining.
  4. Special stains and immunohistochemistry may be performed on sections, recovered with Tissue Grip™.
  5. Avoid the use of adhesive, coated or charged slides.
  6. For frozen sections, acetone cleaned slides may be dipped into a 1:10 solution with water, allowed to dry, and stored in a slide box for later use.
  7. Clean flotation bath after use.


Storage

Storage: room temperature. The product may become semi-solid when exposed to colder temperatures. If the solution has become solidified, move to a warmer area and allow it to "thaw" for 24-48 hours.
