Relax! The slides are deparaffinized. The slides are made with adhesive slides from Instrumedics . The adhesive on the slides is a long chain acrylic adhesive and it will take on a haze like appearance during the staining process. A routine deparaffinization process will deparaffinize the slides. This haze will be retained throughout the staining process until a coverslip is applied.
