Sigma porcine diastase is very good.A cheaper option is very disgusting but had been done for decades, just spit on the section but that will carry bacteria and, although I have seen doing it, I have never done it.René J.

 Hi there,

I am trying to do a PAA-diastase in formalin-fixed embedded samples 
(ovine liver). I would be most grateful if someone could give me a hand in:

-Protocol (enzyme concentration, time of digestion...) for diastase 
digestion (I am assuming that PAS afterwards is the normal protocol for PAS)
-A commercial source for diastase working in these samples. Is the 
porcine amylase from sigma any good? cheaper options?

As always,

thank you very much for all your comments

Cheers

Julio
