Apex BOND Slide

COMPATIBILITY WITH BOND

BOND Universal Covertiles provide Total Tissue Care through excellent tissue retention and morphological preservation. Apex BOND slides are designed and validated¹ to fit properly into the BOND slide trays; the covertiles² fit perfectly over the slides.

TISSUE ADHERENCE

High quality tissue adherence and morphology preservation is critical in immunohistochemistry. Apex BOND is validated¹ for consistent tissue adherence on the BOND platform.

STAINING QUALITY

Apex BOND is validated¹ to provide consistent high-quality staining without any disadvantages of background staining.

PACKAGING

Apex BOND is enhanced with a new coated cellophane wrapping material for increased protection of the adhesive coating from humidity.³

* Leica Biosystems confirms through objective evidence (based on testing protocols¹) that Apex BOND meets
performance specifications for IHC and ISH staining on the BOND-III platform.
