[Histonet] cryosections for LCM not staying on slides

2018-03-20 Thread M.O. via Histonet
Hello Histonet, I am just starting a project using LCM for RNA extraction. So far, our tissues haven't stayed on the slides very well. We are using the Acrturus LCM staining kit. We've taken meniscus at 10, 20, 30, and 40uM sections and started the staining process with (10mins at room temp) and

Just another note: You can order unstained tissue microarrays with the prerequisite number of cases, both positive and negative, and stain your validation all on one slide. I've done this for years and for 3 different validations of entire IHC platform changes, ranging from 40 to over 100 ant
