Shi-Fix™ Coverslips
SHI-FIX ™ COVERSLIPS and Plates for suspension cell Immunofluorescence
Do you wish suspension cell Immunofluorescence was as easy as that of adherent cells?
Now it is! Our innovative Shi-fix™ cover-slips or multi well plates allow suspension cells to be layered on them or directly grown as a monolayer. Easy, hassle-free protocol and no spin columns needed for fixing suspension cells to slides. Just add your cells to the coverslips, wait for 30 mins, wash unbound cells with PBS and proceed to immunostaining.Or continue the culture to obtain desired cell densities for suspension cell immunofluorescence.
These cover-slips can also be used for staining suspension cells for microscopy, or for fixing suspension cells for confocal microscopy. What’s more, you can also stimulate the cells while they are attached on the cover-slip, should you need to do so.
- For cells that are specially difficult to attach, we have developed the PLUS line of shi-fix coverslips.
- You can work on non-adherent cells as if they were adherent!
Simple 4 Step Protocol
1. Resuspend cultured cells in PBS
2. Add 0.2 million cells per coverslip
3. Wash with PBS to remove unbound cells
4. Proceed to immunofluorescence or continue culture of attached cells
