RE: [Histonet] Citrate Buffer pH

From:"Houston, Ronnie"
Patsy,
 
We routinely use Reveal and Borg, both from Biocare Medical, with great success in  a B&D steamer, 20 minutes, followed by 2 rinses in hot buffer, and 20 minute cool down. Very rarely use pressure cooker, and don't use micrwave at all.

Has anybody tried the AR reagents that deparaffinzed such as BioCare Decloaker in a steamer in place of the pressure cooker?  PC is too harsh for some of my stuff but I like using these retrieval/deparaffination reagents.

I've been using a product from Biocare, a Universal Decloaker (6.0 citrate buffer) , which=0D deparaffinizes during HIER in their pressure cooker (Decloaking Chamber) - they are a very Trekkie oriented company.  It works great - saves a bunch o' steps.  You might try contacting them for the specifics.  I don't think about the nature of these things if they work - I just follow along=0D blindly . . . . . . . . .sometimes.

I have a procedure for deparaffinizing (their word, not mine) tissue
sections in order to do immunostaining using the Vector MOM kit.  It
calls for heating the section (briefly) in a microwave in 0.1M Citrate
Buffer.=0D  The procedure  does not specify the pH of the buffer, just to=0D
make it by mixing 0.1M NaCitrate and 0.1M citric acid.  Does this sound
familiar to anyone out there?
