Hi there
It's been a while since I last made 4% paraformaldehyde in
phosphate-buffered saline - it was a few years back as an undergrad.
This time I'm in a new lab, and found that there is no hotplate! So,
after trying to keep the suspension warm with hot water baths (tedious)
, I resorted to the microwave, on low power. It seems to work much
faster than what I remember with the conventional technique. Has anyone
had any experience with this?
