Good Morning,
I rarely do Special stains or IHC's on Cytology cytospins or thin prep type
slides.    Should these slides be charged, air dried or fixed in 95%
alcohol before doing Special stains or IHC's on them?

Is there a good book or some sort of publication on cytology procedures
regarding the above mentioned.   I have tried and look it up and it seems
all over the place on what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Karen,
Long time no see!  I always used Charged slides, and prefixed Methanol for
~ 5 min @ RT (not 95% alcohol) before staining (SS & IHC).
Hope this helps!
