[Histonet] Melanin pigment

[Cynthia Robinson]

Has anyone successfully removed melanin pigment prior to IHC staining with MART-1?  Currently we use Ventana I-View DAB and I have suggested switching to AEC for these cases but our paths don't want to spend the money for a second detection system.  Any suggestions?
 
Thanks......Cindi
