[Histonet] Re:Deplasticizing before staining

[Damien Laudier]

Hi Mahesh,

The type of thick plastic sections you're inquiring about usually require
"etching" with a dilute alcohol or acid before staining to facilitate stain
penetration. However some stains will still penetrate without this
pre-treatment if heat is used during staining. Feel free to contact me for
more information on technique if you'd like.
