[Histonet] Histosearch/Help with bone HIER

[Barbara Lentz]

I place the slides in NBF for 30 minutes prior to HIER.  This seems to
help keep the tissue from falling off.  Hope this helps your procedure,
to.  Barb

Is anyone else having trouble searching the archives today?  It keeps 
freezing up on me.  (It's only 51F in Chicago today - hmmmmm)

I was looking for some tips on how to keep #?+$% FFPE bone from falling

off the slide during HIER.

Tibiae are decalcifed in 5% formic acid, cut at 5 microns, dried flat
at 
37C overnight.  The marrow stays on but I'm losing the bone.

I know someone has a sure-fire answer.
