I am grasping at straws and hoping for ideas to salvage some formalin fixed tissue specimens. I work in a research lab, and am quite new to histology and this particular lab. A former student left formalin fixed tissue specimens that were stored in 70% ethanol. Unfortunately, the seal failed on a few of the vials, the ethanol evaporated, and the tissue is a dried out disaster at the bottom of the vial.
Has anyone has any experience / luck rehydrating tissues? Really, any information that I could possibly pull out of these specimens would be welcome.
