We do 95% bone marrow specimens here. We have perfected our ISH and IHC using the Rapid-Cal Immuno from BBC. Most bone marrows decal in 2.5 hours (8 gauge). The decal does not diminish the iron stores either. If you have questions about my procedures feel free to contact me.

We have heard that some people use formic acid. Also, what would be the decalcification times for tissue such as a bone marrow bx using these other solutions ? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
