We have been utilizing 0.25% Ammonium Hydroxide(28%) + 70% Ethanol v/v for 1 hour followed by 10 minutes in 50% Ethanol rinsing in several changes of buffer afterward and it seems to be working well for a multitude of autofluorescent problems on FFPE sections for us. We tried to Sodium

The copper binds with the hemoglobin in the RBC and greatly reduces or eliminates autofluoresence depending on timing. 10 mM Copper Sulfate 10 mM Copper Sulfate Cupric Sulfate...1.25 gm 50 mM Amonium acetate (pH5)500.0 ml Adjust ph to 5.0 with 1.0 M NaOH 50 mM Ammonium
