Another histologist recommended post-fixing in a glutaraldehyde-formaldehyde solution although this isn't mentioned in the kit instructions. This has me worried that there may be other things missing from the kit instructions that could improve the results. Has anyone else had any experience using this kit and, if so, did you find that other alterations to the protocol were required? Also wondering about potential counterstains that might work with this one. I'd appreciate any pointers if you have them! Thanks!
