Hi Kendra- Decal Stat from Statlab is HCl based, therefore is not appropriate for subsequent IHC, ISH, or other molecular studies. There is lots of peer-reviewed published data, if you need to supply rationale to your pathologists. HCl is known to significantly reduce molecular assay

That may be what you have to do, as the first day of ISH needs to be RNase free! When I do them, it is 10 slides at a time and we have dishes and a lab bench set aside for RNase free procedures only. Obviously this is not feasible in all workplaces! I would just think about it logically. Use
