CONDUCTIVE SILVER PEN
This pen is simple and efficient to use for adhering samples to SEM stubs. Designed to produce instant conductive silver traces, the specially formulated silver-bearing thermoplastic polymer dries in minutes at room temperature. Valved pen tip allows smooth flow with normal writing pressure and is spring-loaded to prevent clogging. If you wish to use the pen for traces, solderable terminations are possible using a 1200C cure for 15-20 minutes. Tin, lead or silver solder can be used (do not exceed 1800C for more than 5 seconds ). Each pen is able to make approximately 30 metres of traces. 39-45% silver content; particle size is under 10µm diameter. Thinner is butyl acetate.

FRO-TISSUER PEN anchors frozen sections
The pen prevents frozen sections from falling off or moving during immunostaining procedures. It also prevents most wrinkling. The pen provides a sticky membrane on which the sections are placed. The membrane is stable to 110oC and is suitable for vigorous applications such as in situ hybridisation.

PARA-TISSUER PEN anchors wax sections
This pen provides a sticky membrane which not only stops paraffin sections from moving, wrinkling or falling off but also "flattens"the sections. This obviates the need for hot water treatment of the sections. The membrane is stable to 120oC.

SILANE SLIDE COATING ADHESIVE
Prepared from 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in acetone. The preferred medium to vastly enhance adhesion of histological and plastic sections to microscope slides. Ready for use solution
Instructions for use: Dip the slide in the Slide Coating Adhesive, using either our Coplin jars (L44208), mini stainer (HMS), or the Dip Miser.
  • Rinse the slide in 100% Acetone.
  • Rinse the slide in distilled water.
  • Dry the slide at 40°C in a dust-free desiccator.
    The slide is now ready to use. Tissue sections (0.25-0.5 microns) are transferred to a drop of water on the slide (coated). Place the slide on a hot plate at 70-80°C for 20-30 seconds or until the sections have expanded and they become flat. Dry the sections at 68-70°C for an additional 1-3 minutes. Then follow your protocol for etching and/or staining of the sections.
    CAUTION: Use Silane slide coating adhesive under a fume hood.
    Reference: David L. Mason et. al., The J. of Histotechnology/Vol. 15, No 4/1992.
    Coated slides are available

    CONDUCTIVE CARBON/GRAPHITE PAINT for adhesion of SEM /microprobe specimens
    A fast drying paint for mounting samples, particularly for SEM and dispersive analysis. Does not tend to siphon up through porous specimens. Carbon results in a black background in back-scattered mode. Carbon contaminants in the specimen chamber of analytical systems tend to be benign. The carbon/graphite mixture conducts well. Dilute with isopropanol alcohol. Store in refrigerator or freezer to slow thickening. Now in a plastic squeeze bottle with valve cap for easy application. Contains steel ball for efficient shaking before use. MSDS

    CONDUCTIVE CARBON/GRAPHITE ADHESIVE water-based
    Flat surface texture. The average flake size is 1µm.
    Service temperature is 306°C.
    This item is not a DG and shipping to overseas addresses is not a problem.

    CONDUCTIVE SILVER LIQUID for adhesion of SEM specimen
    Fast drying silver particle suspension with a very small average grain size of 1.4 to 3.6µm. Excellent conductor. Supplied in a plastic squeeze bottle with valve cap for easy application. Contains steel balls for efficient shaking before use. For large users the silver liquid is also available in a 100mL bottle. The small grain size results in better conductivity and settles more slowly. Appearance is less silvery on account of the refractive index.
    Store cold. MSDS | User Notes

    AQUEOUS CONDUCTIVE SILVER LIQUID
    Similar to the above but based on an aqueous binder. This product is not a DG for shipping purposes. It is slower drying, but this can be rushed by oven or heat-lamp drying. Since this liquid is water-based, smells, flammability and too fast drying times are avoided; it's also a stronger binder.

    LEIT-C-PLAST
    A special adhesive with very high electrical conductivity and permanent plasticity for the preparation of big specimens in SEM work.
    This item is virtually identical to Tempfix (I668), except that Leit-C-Plast is carbon loaded and conducts without a conductive coating.

    TEMPFIX ADHESIVE
    A thermoplastic adhesive for mounting powder specimens and small particles especially for SEM. It does not contain any solvents and it is stable in high vacuum. It is not sticky at room temperature but becomes adhesive at 40°C and melts at 120°C. Tempfix may also be used as an embedding medium.
    The kit contains two gluesticks, a pin-type mount with a lock-screw and several pieces of aluminium shim. The glue is applied to Al shim pieces on a hot plate at 120°C. These coated pieces may be stored for future use. Sprinkle particular specimens onto coating of Al shim and heat briefly on hotplace to 40°C. Tap or blow off any lose particles and then coat specimen. The shim may be examined after fastening to the supplied pin-type mount with set-screw.

    Note on the difference between ID300 and ID310
    What a difference a pen makes: We found a cheaper PAP pen and some people love it; others politely declare it to be a waste of money. Perhaps it depends on the application or how the pen is held. We offer both types, the choice is yours.
