[Histonet] decal solution

[Rene J Buesa]

1- with nitric acid at high concentration as is used to decalcify, pH will be below 1
2- you cannot "overdecalcify" a tissue, but you can affect its staining characteristics after a harsh decalcification.

Does anyone know what the optimal pH for a nitric acid decal solution
should be?  Right now our's is reading below 1.0 when tested and we are
having problems with our tissue being overdecalcified.  Thank you in
advance.
