Subject: [Histonet] Proper Decalcification

I've been having problems with my PA when it comes to proper
decalcification of our bone specimens.  They are either over or under
decalcified.

Do many of you use a chemical end point method to determine the
decalcification or do you use other methods?  If so, could you tell me
the best product to use?

I appreciate any feedback.
