[Histonet] Sakura Film Removal

[Jason McGough]

We soak the slides in acetone for 5-10 minutes and the film will peel off
very easily.

Hello all -



Is there a more effective and faster way to remove the film from the slide?
I had to decolorize a couple of H&E slides to do special stains, and it took
5 days for the film to remove. The slides were only a few days old and I
soaked it in fresh xylene.  I almost removed it too soon because the section
was starting to lift off with the film.



I appreciate the help
