How can I avoid E. Coli adherence to glass cover slips ?

08 July 2018 1 7K Report

I am imaging very high concentration of E. coli solutions under confocal microscope. However, the bacterial cells always stick to the cover slip. Is there a coating which prevents their sticking ? Thanks !

I can offer to test a coated surface if you do not apply a thin coating of pure Ti with a thickness of no more than 150 nm.

Success in research

With respect
