Hi Rosalba
This is the method we use.
Protocol for sialinization of slides
Mix 10ml silane within 500ml acetone (solution is stable for 8 hours - the
colour will change with time), Dip clean (acid washed), dry slides in silane
solution for 2 minutes. Dry slides in fume hood. Wash slides with 2 changes
of water (distilled). Dry completely in an oven and cool.
Hope this helps
