[Histonet] Superfrost slides-Histonet question

[I.B.]

Stephen,

OK, that is what I figured.  I have been hesitant to try it because I need
to mount multiple sections on each slide, and I wasn't sure if the EtOH
would in some way alter the adhesive properties of the slide (I have been
having enough problems with that, don't want to add to it).
