[Histonet] Glycerol

[Dimaano, Nena]

Hello
One investigator handed me a procedure for decalcification but before decalcification he mentioned something about washing the samples in 0.01 PBS containing increasing concentration of glycerol like (5%,10% and 15%). What is the purpose of increasing concentration of glycerol?
 
thanks,
