[Histonet] Paraffin sections

[Molinari, Betsy]

Hi,

  I have heard that paraffin sections that have been deparaffinized and
run down to DH20 but for some reason cannot be stained that day, can be
left to air dry and then be placed back into H2O when they are ready for
staining. Does anyone have any experience with this technique? I usually
just leave them in DH2O till I can get to them, usually the next day.

Thanks.
