We are always on the lookout for fluorescent probes to stain cellular components in different primary cells or immortalized cell lines. Sometimes, we need multi-chambered slides, to perform parallel studies with small volumes of reagents with an excellent optical quality. Moreover, these slides should support cell growth over extended time periods. We looked for an imaging-compatible material that supports human neutrophil attachment and stability to perform our live-cell imaging experiments.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Tips

Don't use more than 750 microliters culture medium per well to avoid contamination.

Summary

The Good

We particularly liked the lids which seem more secure than in other competitors. As the slides have a small area, we can also perform fixation and staining experiments (with small volume of antibodies) after recording cells by live-cell imaging.

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Really good product. It is affordable and if routinely established, a reliable method. We use this product now with several cell lines.
