I usually coat the glass coverslips with an adhesion factor - The protocol I follow for the suspension cell lines I work on is:
Coat coverslips in 0.01% L-ornithine and leave in tissue culture hood for 30 minutes
Aspirate and allow to dry for 30 minutes
Coat in 0.1-1 ug/ml laminin for 60 minutes at 37 degrees
Allow to dry for 30 minutes
Seed cells onto coverslips
This protocol gives me ~80% attachment of cells - If you use small coverslips as I do, you can optimise your experiments in a 24-well plate and save resources too!
Coating with poly-lysine is common also. I used 8-well glass slides from a company, they worked very well for MSCs characterization. Please see the reprint. You can put different antibodies on one slide in different wells
