[Histonet] Ann Preece (was "decal [sic] question")

[Bell, Lynne]

I also have a copy of Preece's "bible" from 1972!  A couple of pages are loose and the spine is a bit frayed.  What a great book!!

>>Ann Preece states acid decal uses aqueous solutions of either formic, nitric, or trichloroacetic acid. Other methods mentioned are Ion-exchange resin, electrical ionization and chelation. The histo bible!<<

You've got to be almost as geezer as me to remember when Ann Preece's
"A Manual for Histologic Technicians" was the histo bible. I was
fortunate to be able to purloin a pristine (no stain spills) copy of
the third edition (1972) from the wreckage of an old histology lab
about 20 years ago.

Indeed, Patsy Ruegg! "Decal" is a trademark of the Decal Chemical
Corporation and should not be used generically for decalcifying
solutions. See decal-bone.com
