[Histonet] Improving the BrdU staining

Dear All: I am writing to discuss the function of each step in BrdU staining. As you might know, Citrate buffer retrieval at 95 degree for 30 min, and 2N HCl for another 30 min at RT are two critical steps for BrdU staining. (1) For citrate buffer retrieval: Is this really antigen retrieval? Or

I had the same problem but our cores were fixed in 10% NBF. I tried everything I could think of to get it to work as far as retrieval, so I ended up having to do a real TUNEL assay. We had to assume the antibody wasn't specific enough. Same antibody and staining platform as you. Mark On Fri, S

No it is not the rule. The thing is that sections covered with paraffin will be isolated from the air and the epitopes will not be readily oxidized. You can also keep them in a container immersed in mineral oil. If you do either, you do not need to keep them at low temperature. René J. --- On F

I would buy a Sakura autostainer for H&E (it can also run some HC procedures), but with that work volume you will probably have about 20-25 HC per day and that amount can be handled cheaply manually. René J. --- On Fri, 9/12/08, Rush, Joyce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Rush, Joyce <[EMAIL P

We are a low volume lab and currently do a limited menu of special and IHC stains on a stainer. We do our H&E's by hand. The stains for our IHC stainer are getting harder and harder to get. We are considering sending our IHC's out and getting a stainer for H&E and special stains. I'd appreciate

Could you fix the tissue in osmium tetroxide, similar to what they do in EM? - Fix first in 10% neutral buffered formalin to preserve morphology of other cells, rinse in buffer, then fix in 1% OsO4, rinse again in buffer. That would fix and stain all the fat black. - Then process the tissue as usu
