This is an interesting observation. I have always done IHC on sections that 
were airdried at RT overnight and had good results but many times my IHC 
protocols are lengthy and most recently, after the entire IHC process, my sections 
fell off in the dehydration to go to xylene to coverslip. Very frustrating let 
alone a waste of time and money...

I will try this new method and hope for better results ;-)

Thanks!!
