Hi Histo People,
I tried to H&E with a Vector Lab's Gill's Formulation of Hematoxylin.
Everything E'd just fine but there is no H.
Is there a way to go back and re-H after coverslipping?
As a clarifier I used 1% glacial acetic acid for 20 seconds and blueing was
saturated Lithium carbonate.
I am using Gill's of unknown age (for 1 minute), the slides seemed sort of
light after the water rinses but I went on thinking it would blue later.
Nope-there is no nuclear stain at all.
Can I go back and fix this? Remove coverslips, rehydrate and re-Hematoxylin?
Please give me any suggestions you can think of.
These blocks were a pain in the rear to section and I'd hate to have to
resection them.
Boo-Hoo & Waaah,
