We soak the slides in acetone for 5-10 minutes and the film will peel off very easily.

I had to decolorize a couple of H&E slides to do special stains, and it took 5 days for the film to remove. The slides were only a few days old and I soaked it in fresh xylene. I almost removed it too soon because the section was starting to lift off with the film. I appreciate the help Paula Lucas Lab Manager Bio-Path Medical Group FV, CA _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
