SPAM-LOW: [Histonet] TRAP staining kit

[Patsy Ruegg]

Kim if you are asking if TRAP enzyme histochemistry works on formalin fixed
paraffin embedded decalcified bone in my experience it does not.  It works
on smears and cytology slides or GMA embedded bone without decal, it may
work on ETA decaled bone but I do not think it works on ffpe slides.  There
is an antibody to TRAP now you could use on ffpe sections by IHC.  What are
you trying to use it for, osteoclasts???

Regards,
Patsy

Hi All,
 
Does anyone know if there is a TRAP staining kit available for histology
(and 
who sells it)?  I have found a bunch of them on google, but they are all for

cell culture.
 
Thanks,
Kim
