[Histonet] Destaining H&E slides

[Kathleen Roberts]

I searched the archives and found Gary Gill's method for destaining H&E 
slides, and for destaining eosin he calls for 1.5% NH4OH in 70% 
ethanol....the problem is, I don't have any NH4OH in the lab.  Is there 
another way to fully destain eosin?

Thanks,
