APTES Coating

With the application of an APTES coating, microscope slides can better hold onto biological samples like cells, proteins, and DNA. This strong adhesion permits more rigorous washing or treatment processes without the risk of sample loss.

An APTES coating doesn't just improve adhesion—it also bolsters stability. The APTES coated slide offers a sturdy, functionalized surface that resists changes from varying environmental conditions, such as shifts in temperature and humidity. This helps to protect the integrity of the biological samples, ensuring precise and dependable observations across a range of experimental settings.

APTES leaves a handy amine group on the slide surface, which can bind with a diverse array of other molecules. This versatility enables further modifications to the slide, such as the attachment of specific biomolecules or nanoparticles, crosslinking of polymers, or the creation of covalently bound protein or DNA layers.

APTES creates a self-assembled monolayer, presenting a uniform and well-defined surface that contributes to the reproducibility of experiments. By standardizing slide preparation, APTES can significantly reduce data variations, enhancing the reliability and repeatability of experimental outcomes.

The APTES layer is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of detection methods. It's suitable for a range of microscopy techniques, including fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, and scanning probe microscopy.
