[Histonet] meniscus/tibia attachments histology
Hi,
I am working in the histology of meniscus/tibia attachments. I am
looking for the collagen orientation and distribution, and GAGs content
of meniscus-midsubstance-bone. I found that bone needs to be
decalcified (I use 10% formic acid) before fixed in 10% NBF. My
questions are: Could the decalcification affect the structure of
midsubstance and meniscus?. Do I need to put the bone after
decalcification in ammonia solution or Can I jump this step?. What is
the time recommended for washing the samples after decalcification?
I would appreciate your advice. Thanks,
