Re: dividing cell preps

From:Shirley Powell

Hi Louise,

When I need to separate sections, cells, or smears, I use Mount Quick from
Newcomer Supply.  It comes in a tube with instructions for removal and
separation.  The number for Newcomer is 6270A, about $12.00 a tube and the
phone number is 1800-383-7799.  It is very reliable and I have done pressure
cooker antigen retrieval then IHC on the NexES on sections separated using this
technique.
