[Histonet] histology ink washing off

[Weems, Joyce]

Spray with or dip in a solution of 5% acetic acid (vinegar) and the ink
will set... 

Have a good weekend!

Subject: [Histonet] histology ink washing off

Hello,
I am having a problem with histology tissue marking ink washing off
specimens in water, PFA, or 70% alcohol.  This is before the tissue even
gets processed for paraffin embedding. Does anyone have any suggestions
on how to keep the ink from coming off?  Thank you.

Leslie
