Information for Labs

CUBLIQ (Liquid cover glass)

  1. An optional component in the Citofem System is CUBLIQ™ which is a proprietary resin that hardens in 15 minutes and does not require mounting medial. CUBLIQ™ may be used with any cytological or histological specimen (except wet mounts)."
  2. The display of the processed sample at the microscope is high quality as there tends to be no bubbles.
  3. When the slides are not used (3 to 5 years later), the material encapsulated by CUBLIQ™ can be removed (such as removing an adhesive). The slide may then be recycled.
  4. In the staining battery, it is not necessary to use Xylene. This implies that after passing through the EA50 stain and alcohol, the slides are dried and then coated with CUBLIQ™ This prevents chronic toxicity inhalation from organic solvents.
  5. The price of CUBLIQ™ liquid glass cover glass is lower than the traditional cover slip making it much more economical.
