[Histonet] glycerol-coated glass slides

[Paula Pierce]

Nearly 30 years ago I used glycerol mixed with albumin to coat glass slides for eye secctions. This is probably what you are referring to. I have not used this method for about 25 years though. I found chrome alum-gelatin worked much better and never looked back.

With albumin-glycerol you can get eosinophilic staining on the slide if the coating is too thick.
