Subject: Re: [Histonet] Histology tips
Here is one that your safety officer will like. Ether is sometimes called
for as a de-stainer but is dangerous to keep except in a sealed can. Once
opened, it can be quite explosive in a frig. This is my solution. Get a
cheap can of engine starting fluid. It is pure ether. Don't get the high
priced version with lubricants added. You just use what you need from the
spray can and the rest keeps just fine for years.
