We try not to cut amyloid controls too far in advance - we have had
trouble with old slides and poor staining in the past.

Subject: [Histonet] amyloid control for congo red

Happy Friday Histonetters,

Can amyloid control slides be cut ahead?  Should the block be dipped in
paraffin after each use?  Having a bit of trouble with this stain  -
have a
new block coming - but want to move forward doing this properly.  

Thanks for your help
