RE: [Histonet] bone decalcification

From:"Patsy Ruegg"

Jose,
If you are thinking of doing IHC Formic Acid is a good decal to use
(5%).  Decal Chemicals sells a formic acid product called Immunocal.
There are other quicker products that I believe use Nitric acids but IHC
is better with the Formic in my hands.

Subject: [Histonet] bone decalcification


Dear List-members



I have to dacalcify some fish vertebrae in order to see the vertebral
articulation and intervertebral discs, and have to use a quieck method.
I usually decalcify with EDTA but this method is very slow. I would
appreciate your advise. 



Thanks in advance!
