Re: [Histonet] Cut FFPE Slides for ISH
Hello Jenniffer, we store the slides with section at 4-8 °C for many month or even longer and we do not have any problems with ISH.

[Histonet] Cut FFPE Slides for ISH
Hi Jennifer, My ISH slides (FFPE) were stored in -20oC for several months or more than one year and the targets were less abundant. I didn't use RNAscope though, which is more sensitive. I don't know what kind of RNA your researcher try to locate and need to do ISH within 24 hours after cutting? Fresh cut section will yield more signal for sure. I think as long as you have a few copies of genes in your tissue, RNAscope should be able to detect.

[Histonet] Cut FFPE Slides for ISH
Hello Histonet, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to find some references for how long FFPE slides intended for ISH can be kept before staining. I have a researcher who swears their slides have to be stained within 24 hours of being cut, which does not sound correct to me. I've used ACD's RNAscope before and their protocol lists the timeframe as 3 months (so this is a bit of a difference). There's a lot of information about fixation times, but I've come up empty handed for cut slides. Thanks everyone!
