[Histonet] special stains on slides that have been to waterovernight

[Jim Staruk]

I tried that once and the immuno was a total failure the next day.  I
never investigated it as to why, assuming everything washed out
overnight.

I was hoping I could get some advice regarding an issue.  Would a
special
stain or immuno stain on a section that has been brought to water and
left
to sit overnight in water yield reliable results.  It gets cut, dried
and
taken to water the previous day and the staining procedure is not
carried
out until the next day.  Your opinions would be appreciated.
