What are the Common Types of Personalized Coatings Used in Histology?
Several types of coatings are prevalent in histology: 1. Hydrophilic Coatings: These coatings enhance the wettability of surfaces, ensuring even distribution of aqueous solutions during staining and mounting. 2. Antibody Coatings: Custom coatings with specific antibodies can be used to bind target antigens in immunohistochemistry, improving detection sensitivity and specificity. 3. Anti-fouling Coatings: Designed to resist biological contamination, these coatings prevent non-specific binding of proteins and other biomolecules, maintaining sample purity.
