A student in my lab is doing some work in another lab here and having some problems with coverslipping their H&E sections. They are using HistoClear 1X as a clearing agent and Cytoseal mounting medium. From looking at the coverslipped slides I'm guessing that these two products are not compatible. The mounting medium is sort of clumping up under coverslips and has a hazy appearance. Yes, I did also find a bit of water in their HistoClear as well. Does anybody else have any experience with HistoClear 1X and/or does anybody know what mounting medium is good to use with the product? I suggested that they call the company who manufactures HistoClear but I don't know if they have done that yet.

Thanks,

Andi Grantham
