[Histonet] marking small samples

[Morken, Timothy]

We use eosin the processor alcohol. Also we use blue-tinted paraffin which helps with contrast on small bx

Dear Histonetters,

Does anyone know of a good method to mark (stain) small samples (tissue or cells) prior to paraffin embedding to aid in finding back more easily the sample in the paraffin block ?
Preferably something that would not interfere with subsequent antibody staining.

Yves
