Gene Frames
Thermo Fisher ScientificThermo Scientific Gene Frame products feature a dual strength adhesive system which facilitates the easy removal of the frames after use. The adhesives on either side of the frame are of differing strengths; the side which adheres to the glass has an easy release adhesive whereas the reverse, which sticks to the coverslip, forms a stronger bond. This means that when the coverslip is removed, due to the disparity in the strengt…
