I am aware of Dissect Aid but would like to learn of other comparable products. If individuals are using home made solutions are will to share their formula I would appreciate receiving that information as well. Our primary interest is speed of clearing for turnaround time reasons. I am in the midst of a Histosearch search but it is slow going because most discussions refer to tissue processing or staining so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack Thank you all Vinnie Della Speranza Manager for Anatomic Pathology Services 165 Ashley Avenue Suite 309 Charleston, SC 29425 tel. 843-792-6353 fax. 843-792-8974 _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
