ficient sealing. From the many methods for sealing, the use of Pattex Supermatic200Plus<br />

offers a convenient and reliable way to prevent leakage (15,29,30). It is easier to handle<br />

than nail polish with the same good sealing capacity. Furthermore, it seems to represent a<br />

biocompatible adhesive as it does not interfere with enzyme activity during PCR.<br />

15. Coverslips can easily be removed by an initial scalpel cut along the sealed edge, which<br />

is to be lifted first. To facilitate the removal of the coverslips, the slides can be stored at<br />

4°C for 1 to 2 min to completely harden the gluten if it is still viscous after the incubation<br />

at 92°C (8,15,29).<br />

16. The lower the temperature and the shorter the incubation period, the better will be<br />

morphology which, nevertheless, is negatively affected by the IS-PCR procedure.<br />

17. Temperatures, concentration of SSC, and incubation period have to be adjusted for the<br />

probe in use.<br />

18. Antibody concentrations have to be adapted for different probes and according to the<br />

efficiency of the PCR. One can choose from a wide variety of chromogens. Furthermore, a<br />

peroxidase-based system can be used using AEC+ or DAB+ (Dako) as chromogens, which<br />

usually will result in more localized signals (8,28) than those achieved with NBT/BCIP.<br />

Detection solutions and antibody concentrations have to be adjusted.<br />
