wondering what you all think of the present choices on market.
We wish to get a digital machine to replace an ageing Joelle. Any feedback from
users about recent purchases would be welcome,
Donna brings up a good point. I too was able to remove a 0.5 FTE from my

pathologist who helped user in the changes with the rest of the group.

Hi Mesru,
1. Cryosectioning followed by Alizarin red staining may work. I'm not

guide you.

Hi,
we had success with 5% formic acid on trephine bone marrow for DNA-PCR
(BRAF, c-kit mutation) and RNA-ISH (kappa), but had no success for
FISH-testing.
Perhaps someone can recommend a method, that also supports FISH?
