[Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 194, Issue 15

Thank you for the reply Amos. I totally agree but the researcher did not inform me until after the deparaffinization was finished. She wanted to hold off on the staining but it was too late and I went ahead with the staining. I was just curious if there was, in fact a procedure to preserve a deparaffinized slide.

Hi Betsy,
     I wouldn't do it. It's an unnecessary risk to let them dry out. Better to leave it in distilled water if you absolutely must. Ideal to not deparaffinize in the first place if you can't finish the stain. Dried out sections is just a bad plan.
