We decalcify bone marrow core biopsies in EDTA with HCL, for 1 hour. This works very well for us.
However, we have found that the HCL makes it impossible to do in situ hybridization with some probes (other probes work OK).
Do any of you do ISH on bone marrow core biopsies? Does it work well with all needed probes, especially kappa and lambda? If so, how do you decalcify?
Thank you.

Sorry, I don't even know what a farker is! This was shared on a
veterinarian's FB page! I almost sent the Lady Science one, which I think
is hysterical, but I was afraid it wasn't relevant enough to histology per
se (all biochemistry). But I'm glad someone else did. Well, maybe these
will give a creative histologist some ideas...

Hey, I just found that today too!
Are you a farker??
I almost sent it to the list, but then decided someone had already done so
and I missed it.
I heard that the university is upset because it's gone viral, something
about inappropriate behavior in the lab.
NO HAVING FUN, EVER!!

Carnoy's fixative contains chloroform, and that's enough reason not to use
it. In addition to its toxicity, chloroform dissolves methacrylate plastic,
as I found out the hard way once when I tried to fix a specimen in Carnoy's
fixative in a methacrylate container because I had nothing else.
I've seen Carnoy's fixative used as a "disclosing fixative" for finding
mesenteric lymph nodes in colectomy specimens. There's no excuse for this.
There are a number of proprietary fixatives (such as Surgipath's O-Fix) for
this purpose, or if you're allowed to brew your own, I use Davidson's
fixative (3 parts water, 3 parts reagent alcohol, 2 parts 37% formaldehyde
[NOT 10% NBF], 1 part glacial acetic acid.)
