[Histonet] Staining of plastic embedded samples
From: | holling@med-in.uni-saarland.de |
Hello,
Iīve got a problem with staining plastic embedded samples.
The samples are embedded in Technovit 9100 new. The blocks are polished and sticked on a plastic
slide. With a hand saw I cut them and the slides are getting polished again and afterwards they
are getting stained.
Now my problem: I do the Masson Goldner or MSB stain, but the lightgreen or methyl blue doesnīt
appear in the colored slice. Both are only red-brown.
I donīt remove the polymer (with 2-methoxyethylacetat) before staining, because of the plastic
slides. They also dissolve.
I hope anybody could help me.
Thanks Nicole
