Hi all, We had great success accomplishing fluorescence spectroscopy
in chamber slides called Assay Chips 24/25 manufactured by Evotec Technologies.
These slides were ideal for small volume reactions 10-25 uL critical when
samples are limited. When Evotec was bought out by Perkin-Elmer they
discontinued this product. Does anyone on the list know of a potential
alternative? We have had to resort to Nunc chamber slides for the time which require
significantly larger volumes. Thanks. Neal. Dr. Neal Waxham Professor, Neurobiology and Anatomy UTHSC-Houston 6431 Fannin, Room 7.254 MSB Houston, TX 77030 713-500-5621 Lab Webpage - http://nba.uth.tmc.edu/homepage/waxham/ |
Dear Neal,
I'd suggest to check the Ibidi slides. They are however made of plastic so if you need glass, then this is not an option (although optical properties should be similar to glass).

Dear Dr. Waxham,
If you want small volume wells on glass coverslips, you might want to look at what Molecular Probes/Invitrogen offers as well. C24767 8-wells per coverslip area 1.0 mm deep by 6 mm wide and holds 15 -30 μL. or C24768 50-wells per coverslip area 1.0 mm deep by 3 mm wide and holds 3 -10 μL. These are microwells created by thin, removable, medical grade silicon gaskets attached to standard 1.5 coverslips. http://probes.invitrogen.com/media/pis/mp24760.pdf Or key word "CultureWell" on our site.
