[Histonet] H&E on Frozen

[Reynolds,Donna M]

We do this frequently. 
Fix slides in Methanol (45ml) + formaldehyde (5ml) for 10 minutes. 
Wash several changes of tap water
Stain with Harris Hematoxylin for 3 minutes
Proceed as you would for paraffin  sections
Get great staining. 
I am sure if you are using a different Hematoxylin you could use it the same way you use it for paraffin

Does anyone have a good protocol for staining frozen sections with H&E?? Also, any mounting medium suggestions?? This is the first time I've been asked to do this for frozen. 
?
Thanks a bunch everyone!
