Another Hallmark is the Superficial Vascular Plexus of the Skin. You can do Muscle Actin ( HHF – 35 ) or CD 34 to remark the vessels. Link to a Picture http://biologiedelapeau.fr/spip.php?page=forumid_article=21lang=en This Superficial Vascular Plexus allows separating Invasive Melanoma

For many years now I have used this protocol in Bone Marrow samples. The cortical of the bone is still a problem, but it can be solved with longer decal time. If you need to preserve morphology and antigenicity for Immunohistochemistry this is the best choice. Three Days Bouin’s Fixative (

The total Osmolarity of the fixing solution should be isosmotic with tissue fluids in order to prevent shrinkage or swelling of cells. The best way to avoid shrinkage is to prepare Formalin with Physiological or Isotonic Saline Solution. The solution is 9 grams of sodium chloride ( NaCl )

I forgot to say that the rest of the tissue processing can cause shrinkage. If the paraffin is too hot you will get fried tissues. Here is a Link with very good information about tissue processing. http://users.adam.com.au/royellis/tp/tp.htm

I use Artist China ( India ) Ink. The secret is to immerse the blocks in Bouin’s Fixative to coagulate the Ink. After that put the tissue blocks directly in the First Alcohol. Don’t go back to formalin. Cesar Romero Buenos Aires Argentina

For Manual IHC I suggest best the Sequenza Slide Rack from Thermo Scientific. It makes your life easier and you can save money, because you only need 100 ul of any reactive per slide. Here is the link to the web page.
