Without losing their antigenicity or ability to function viable cells of suspensions of any body fluid can be anchored to the adhesion slide and investigated for surface antigens, intracellular antigens, cytochemical functions and morphological properties.
The cells adhere so firmly to the slide that they may be washed without coming off. The extremely hydrophobic mask prevents the cells or reagents from spreading into other wells even if the slide is shaken on a Vortex mixer.
The adhesion slide stops losses of cells, saves time and avoids unnecessary steps of centrifugation. Using a minimum of time and material will result in durable preparations of excellent quality. Up to twelve different tests with different antibodies would be possible on one single slide.
