easy method to remove the coverslip off a slide

[giff]

Hi everyone,
I am looking into a simple and easy method to removed DPX glued glass
coverslips from archived microscopy slides. All tips will be acted
upon. Thanks!

Hi Try soaking the slide in xylene. YOu may need to soak for quite awhile. after removing coverslip, do soak in fresh xylene to remove remainder trace of DPX. Regards GUat LIan --- On Sat, 12/2/11, giff <andre...@gmail.com> wrote:

soak the slide in Histo Clear, CitriSolv, xylene or the like. It may take a week, but the coverslip will come off.
