Subject: favorite mounting media for IHC



	hi all, 
we're noticing some significant fading of chromagen and hematoxylin on our 
IHC slides.....here are some particulars......we use xylene, our DAB is from 
Dako, hematoxylin is Mayer's from Sigma, and we currently use CytoSeal.  i'm 
looking to switch to a different media......what's your favorite for good 
long term storage. 
thanks for your input, 
carrie 

	ps.....thank goodness we take pictures of everything for the much loathed 
lab notebook!
