We have a similar frozen section protocol but we fix the slide in 95% alcohol for ~1minute and then stain with Gill's Hematoxylin for 1 minute, rinse, blue and then alcohol, foloowed by Eosin for ~ 15secs.- dehydrate and mount.

That depends on what staining you need to use.
If an IHC, just fix the sections in acetone, air dry and proceed without HIER
If H&E fix quickly with formalin 10%, wash → hematoxylin for 30 secs without differentiation → eosin 15 sec→ dehydrate and mount.
Other HC procedures all will require fixation and using the specific protocol.
Always remember that it is a frozen section and therefore more delicate and less adhered than a paraffin section.

Hello Histonetters,
I am new to the histology world and I was hoping to get some feedback
about staining after cutting sections in the cryostat.
Does anyone have a protocol they use for staining after sectioning
tissue in a cryostat?
I have never done it before so I thought I would come to the experts.
Thanks for your help!
Kimberly
