[Histonet] endogenous peroxidase blocking protocol

[Joe Nocito]

Ann,
have you tried a 3% in methanol solution? Depending on the number of slides
you have. I used to use 450 mL methanol to 50mLs H2O2 on really bloody
specimens. You might have to perform a time titer like 5 min., 10 min, 15
min.  Good luck
