There is a procedure where you can transfer the sections to a charges slide with a product called mount quick. You can check with newcomer supply they sell it. I know of several labs that have used it on these occasions and it works well.

Antibody is Pan Keratin Cocktail from Cell Marque with recommended protocol on a Benchmark Ultra with i-view detection.  Only problem is, I only have two slides and they are not charged.  The tissues have been air-dried but not baked.  I cannot obtain more slides.
