Hi Lynn,
    We do a lift off procedure in which a stained slide can have the coverslip
removed and a gel placed on the sections. The slide is then left in a 60 degree
oven overnight then placed in a coplin jar of distilled water in a float bath
for an hour. The sections can then be floated off the slide on the float bath,
split up on two separate slides and restained. Unfortunately I forgot the name
of the darned gel used for this. I'll get it to you Monday afternoon along with
a more detailed description of the procedure.
