[Histonet] Vaginal Smears-Fixation

[Amber Tyler]

Good Morning,

I am doing a study on changes in estrous cycling in mice over the long term.
I will be collecting vaginal smears daily and staining with new methylene
blue. I need to be able to keep the slides "fresh" for viewing for
approximately a week.

Does anyone have any advice on the best manner of fixing/mounting procedures
for this?
I have little experience with this. In previous studies, the slides were
only needed briefly and discarded.

Thank you,
Amber
