[Histonet] Eliminating the edge effect in IHC/IF

[Rene J Buesa]

Usually that is the result of incomplete fixation. Check your fixation protocol.

Hi,
I have a question for the generous input. When I do the IHC or IF, it
seems very common that the intensity of the edge area of the tissue is
always stronger than the central tissue part. Is it possible to
eliminate this and make the staining evenly distributed around the whole
tissue section?

Your kind help is greatly appreciated,


Thanks in advance,

Best,
Karen
