[Histonet] Tissue transfer method:

[James Watson]

Slide Repair

1.	Soak coverslip off of slide in xylene.
2.	Piece slide back together.
3.	Apply Mount-Quick to slide, covering tissue. Allow to dry overnight.
4.	Place slide in cold water in refrigerator overnight.
5.	Carefully peal the Mount-Quick off the slide.  The tissue should come up with the Mount-Quick, if it does not stop pealing up the Mount-Quick and place back into the water overnight again.
6.	Carefully trim excess Mount-Quick from areas where tissue is not present. Leave at least ¼ inch of Mount-Quick around the tissue
7.	On a new slide that is wet with water, place the removed Mount-Quick and tissue in the center of the slide (make sure the tissue is next to the slide), removing as many air bubbles from under the Mount-Quick as possible.
8.	Cover the slide with a wet piece of filter paper then place a blank slide on top.  If you have multiple slides to repair then they can be stacked.  Apply weight to the top of this and let stand overnight.
9.	Soak the dry slide in Xylene until the Mount-Quick is removed and coverslip as usual.

Does anyone have a procedure that they can share on tissue transfer? One stained slide to another?

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Craig
