[Histonet] in situ buffer??

[Merced M Leiker]

I've made my own in situ buffer (for chromosome probes) using a simple 
recipe:

5ml 2xSSC pH6.8
5ml formamide (deionized)
1g dextran sulfate (DS) Sigma D6001

Warm the 2xSSC and add the DS to dissolve. Add formamide. Sterile filter. 
Aliquot and store at -20 C or lower.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Merced
