I have some bone marrow smears that I would like to fix in B-plus and
then store. I'm thinking that my best option would be to fix the
smears, then dehydrate them thru ethanol to xylene and then let them
dry for storage. Before staining (I would be doing
immunhistochemistry or immunofluorescence) I would rehydrate the
smears to water. Has anyone ever stored bone marrow smears fixed in
B-plus, B-5 or formalin long term and how did you do it, or does
anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Sharon
