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

[DKBoyd <@t> chs.net]

I have both a 1959 and 1972 copy of Preece's book!  Both were left by the 
previous Histology Manager.  What a treasurer for me.  I also used Preece 
when studying for the registry.

>>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
