Assessing adhesion slide performance across histology applications

Adhesion slides are essential for securing tissue sections during IHC, H&E, and special stains, helping to prevent costly rework and delays in patient diagnosis. In this poster, Statlab evaluates multiple slide brands, revealing significant differences in tissue adhesion and background staining—especially with difficult tissue types like breast.

With variations in performance, it's crucial for labs to assess their specific staining needs and choose the right slide. Strong adhesion can reduce failure rates, while minimizing background staining is key for digital pathology and pathologist review.
