Hello Histonetters,
I was just asked to start processing whiteflies for in situ detection of
intracellular symbiotic bacteria.
Two questions -
Is anybody processing bugs? I'm looking for a protocol.
My usual processing protocol for animal tissue is one hour each in
increasing strengths of ETOH starting with 70% and going to Paraplast Xtra.
Total processing time is 12 hours. Is this too long for insect processing?
Thanks.
Andi
