[Histonet] AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE

[Phyllis Thaxton]

Hi all,
  I looked in archives to see if I could find any info on this but did not. Remember, we are having a problem with some of the sections floating off during IHC. 
   If paraffin blocks are faced and then placed  in ammonium hydroxide before cutting the H&E, would this cause the sections to float off if the unstained sections that are cut in addition to the H&E's are also produced in this manner?
