Make the washing steps very short and begin with 96% alcohol, if you use
alcoholic eosin. (15-30 sek. 96%-100%-100%).

Betreff: [Histonet] H&E Staining

 i'm currently trying some H&E staining (post-TUNEL) on paraffin embedded
tissues and keep having the eosin wash out during the dehydration steps
(stepwise: 70% alcohol, 95% alcohol, 100% alcohol)... any ideas on why this
would happen?  am i missing a step in between that allows the stain to
'stick'?  thanks
