Dear Praveen, I always siliconize my cover slips before using them for crystallization. Recipe is very simple. But make sure that you always use mask, gloves and perform your experiment under a fume hood. 1. 95% toluene + 5% dichloromethylsilane will give you a very good siliconization

Ahh, this brings back memories of a former life, preparing hydrophobic coverslips for my surface chemistry experiments. I used chlorotrimethylsilane, and what I remember best is that the secret to a good coating is making sure your coverslips are utterly clean and dry. I used to clean them by

Dear all, sorry for off topic question. May i know if anybody uses homemade silinization of coverslips for protein crystallization purposes? I have purchased Sigmacote SL2-100 ml for silanizing coverslips for hanging drop protein crystallization setup. Please share your methods to siliconize
