Poly-L-Lysine solution is intended for use as an adhesive subbing solution for immunohistochemistry(IHC) and routine histologic staining preparations. The loss of paraffin and frozen sections from slides has long been a problem during routine Histologic staining procedures. Various adhesives including albumin, gelatin and chrome alum have been applied to slides to minimize this loss. Different solutions of Poly-L-Lysine have been shown to be most effective in promoting adhesive of sections. The polycationic nature of this molecule allows interaction with the anionic sites of tissue sections resulting in strong adhesive properties. Poly-L-Lysine has been demonstrated as an effective tissue adhesive for use in various microwave procedures.
