Jay,

We manufacture a product call IMMUNOCAL which is a very mild form of highly
purified Formic Acid and water.  In a study done by Dr. Hicks at the
University of Rochester MC in Rochester NY and published in The Journal of
Histotechnology, September, 1997, they proved that mRNA can ideed survive
acid decalcification if done correctly.  I am currently in Providence at the
NSH annual symposium.  If you call me later in the week, I will be glad to
send you a sample of Immunocal along with a copy of the article.

Best Regards,
