Peggy,
Have you used this method of adhesion for special stains and IHC staining as
well? If so, have you had any interference or background staining?
Thank you,
Jackie

Subject: RE: [Histonet] bone sections
Marie,
I make a 5% Titebond solution from Titebond II which can be purchased at
any hardware store such as Home Depot, etc. and I rarely lose sections
when HE staining on paraffin embedded bones.
Right before sectioning, I take a pipette using the 5% titebond and dab
all the corners and center of the slide, take a kimwipe and spread it
zigzag across one way all the way down the slide and then turn the slide
1/4 and do it again. Let it air dry a few seconds and then pick up your
section.
I should mention that I first clean the slides in acid alcohol for 5
minutes, followed by two 95% rinses for 5 minutes each and then dry in a
60 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven, cool, wrap individually
with either a kimwipe or paper towel to keep them protected from dust
and store in an empty coverslip box.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Histonet] bone sections
Hi Everyone
Could any one tell me how they keep bone sections adhered to slides when
staining. I'Ve tried polysine slides, pva glue slides, different ways of
drying the sections and for different lenghts of time but nothing seems
to work for every section.
I'm only staining them with HE.
Thanks
