[Histonet] DAB residues removal

[Olek Michalski]

Dear Histonetters,

There are many procedures using DAB for staining. We apply some in our  
lab, so sometimes there is need for cleaning Coplin jars covered w/ brown  
residue. I normally do it by putting glassware into NaOH solution  
containing some detergent over weekend and cleaing w/ brush afterwards.  
Recently I heard there used to be more efficient protocol for DAB residue  
removal but I can't find it. I know Dako provides DAB-away kit, but  
supposedly it would be too much for couple jars per week. Do you know any  
better way to deal with this problem?

Best regards
Olek Michalski
