[Histonet] marking small samples

[Anne Murvosh]

I mark shaves and punches with .5% Toludine blue it won't color the skin but will color the rest.  And best of all it doesn't show up in any staining its purely for identifying your tissue for embedding purposes.  Anne

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
