Hello,
I wonder what everyone is using for sealing hanging drop slides on VDX
plates? For the most part, we paraffin oil but I am unhappy with it because
it is too think and too frequently there is break in the oil and the drop
dries too much. I find vacuum grease to be not terribly practical
Dow Corning Heavy Vacuum Grease, a 10 ml syringe and a shorter cut 200 µl tip
attached to the syringe.

The is probably the cleanest and fastest way of greasing plates.
Take a 15ml Falcon tube and unscrew the cap. You will notice that the
cap is exactly the width as the well of the VDX plate. Using a fairly
wide bored metal syringe needle, pierce 8 holes into the cap from the
outside, along the
Haven't done this for a while, but what we used to do was mix Vaseline plus
mineral oil (both purchased for cheap at the local drugstore), and then apply
it using a 10 ml syringe with a pipet tip attached.
We used the mixture of Vaseline + mineral oil because Vaseline alone is too
