[Histonet] RE: Prion Contamination-Post Fixation

[Terri Braud]

Ooops, my bad!..you are both right!  Another reason that prion contaminated tissues should be left to the experts.  And for the rest of us, just read the links for yourself, and try to be safe!
Thanks, Terri

My recollection I believe that it stated that the formic acid was a post-fixation step.

All,
The formic acid is a post-fixation step.
