[Histonet] Bouin postfixation

[Gudrun Lang]

The treatment with bouin afterwards doesn't make the formaldehyde-fixation undone. This would be rather a kind of antigen-retrieval
and results at least in a mixture of both fixations. 
I would stay with the familiar formaldehyde-fixation without experiments and try to get the best out of it with the best fitting
antigen-retrieval method.

Betreff: [Histonet] Bouin postfixation


Dear histonetters,

I have to do immunohistochemistry with an antibody that works better in Bouin fixed samples. But I am afraid that my samples -just
unprocessed- are in formalin.

Do you think that it could be help to transfer them to Bouin 24 hours and then 70 ethanol and embedding?

Thanks in advance
