Last night it malfunctioned and suspended the tissues above the 80% ethanol container. The tissues were high and dry for ~ 9 hours (!) until I placed them into 70% ethanol this morning. I will process them next week. Has this happened to anyone else and what tissue artifacts can I expect? Thanks very much, Carla Carla Conway Histology Technician Western Fisheries Research Center, USGS 6505 N.E. 65th Street Seattle, WA 98115-5016 USA Phone: 206-526-2042 Fax: 206-526-6654 E-mail: cmcon...@usgs.gov _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet&k=NZz1SMMNIbmFChmIgSwv1Q%3D%3D%0A&r=E%2BUK3UdeD4AVR4ePVyCdWPXID5qqJ6mYOXk2vk%2FO6HA%3D%0A&m=%2BfCU3trcgbZTxcTVVwV9PBYwA4sdkdeS3%2B8QsbqJBIg%3D%0A&s=f70156bac2d9c01ccd25a40b1c3fd9f124a0fe93c1fba0c52d4e1ef48da7a09e This electronic mail and any attached documents are intended solely for the named addressee(s) and contain confidential information.
