SCHOTT has changed the name of the Nexterion® nitrocellulose slides, what are now the differences between the slides?
• Nexterion® Slide NC-D (D = “Dark” grey) This slide was made with nitrocellulose containing a black pigment that reduced auto-fluorescence. This product has been discontinued. • Nexterion® Slide NC-N (N = “Non-contact” printers) This slide is identical to the Nexterion® Slide NC-W (W = “White”) product. It was renamed as this nitrocellulose coating produces a superior performance with “non-contact” type printers. The product ordering codes remain the same. • Nexterion® Slide NC-C (C = “Contact” printers) This slide has membrane pads manufactured with the recently introduced “small pore” nitrocellulose. This nitrocellulose membrane contains a higher solids content, and has a more dense structure making it particularly well suited for use with “contact” type microarray printers. This surface works well with applications in which the probes are suspended in printing buffers that contain high concentrations of detergents, such as those used to array cell lysates.
