Good morning Does anyone have suggestions for antibodies for M2D2 and SMAD? We have not been able to get these antibodies to work for us on the Ventana Ultras. If you do have suggestions, protocols and control tissue suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks Sue Sue Hunter, Supervisor

Hello Just wanted to add one more thing - we actually use a dedicated pyrex dish (maybe 6x10 inches) for our water bath for RNA sections. We use warm tap water, but you can put it in the microwave for a short bit if it needs to be warmer. You can spray the dish with RNAse away and wipe before

It is my understanding that you can only bill for one 88342 on a specimen - technical or professional, even if you perform the same stain on multiple blocks of that specimen. For A1, A2, A3 etc you can only charge once. For A1, B1, C1, etc you may charge a 88342 per specimen. Sue Sue Hunter
