I am putting together a list of facilities that have discontinued the use of negative reagent controls for IHC. After the CAP revised the requirement related to negative controls when polymer-based detection systems are used, we decided to investigate whether discontinuing the negative controls

Another solution, and one we did almost exclusively for murine T and B cell IHC was use biotinylated Rat anti mouse CD4 and CD8. The isotype can be purchased biotinylated from BD Bioscience/Invitrogen or you can buy Jacksons Rat IgG-biotin. This totally eliminates a secondary antibody hence

hi I would recommend storage for long term in 70% ethanol. To prevent drying out we used glycerin in the ethanol, about 20% of the volume. Barry On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 7:44 AM, Orla M Gallagher < o.m.gallag...@sheffield.ac.uk> wrote: > Thanks to everyone for your comments. > > I may not have b

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I may not have been clear in my question - our researchers don't wish to decalcify these formalin-fixed bones yet, but rather to store them for more than a couple of weeks, in case they need to carry out MicroCT followed by histology later. I'm aware that the
