[Histonet] GLP lab staining question

[Bryan Llewellyn]

The way I was taught was to cut a series of sections, 50 or so, then stain 
the first and the last to make sure they were positive  If they both are, it 
is presumed that all the others are also.  If not, stain intermediate 
sections until one is positive, then use from the first one to that.
