Thernanox®, or TMX coverslips are made from a polymer (in the polyolefin family) that is highly resistant to most chemicals. Thermanox® plastic is resistant to alcohols, aldehydes, hydrocarbons, dilute acids (<10%) and dilute alkalis (<2%). TMX has limited resistance to chlorinated hydro-carbons, however, it is not resistant to concentrated acids or bases.Thermanox® plastic is a flexible, trans-parent polymer that can be sectioned using a microtome and is able to withstand high temp-eratures (temperature range –70°C to +150°C). Thermanox® coverslips are culture treated on one side for enhanced cell attachment and growth. The treated side is packaged face up toward the label.

Features:

• Flat and remain flat
• 0.2mm (No. 2) thickness
• Resistant to commonly used solvents
• Safe and easy to handle
• Auto fluorescent in the range 380 to 545 nm
• Thernanox® cover slips can be autoclaved at 20 minutes steam, 20 minutes dry at 120°C
