COVERSLIPPING
Each laboratory should evaluate their choice of coverslip and mounting media to ensure
compatibility with ThinPrep slides.
Hologic also recommends that 24 mm x 40 mm or 24 mm x 50 mm glass coverslips be used.
Plastic coverslip material used with automated coverslipping instrumentation is also acceptable.
If you are staining and coverslipping for ThinPrep Imaging System slides, please see the Image
Processor Operator’s Manual first.
