Hi Everyone,
I am trying to establish the Sihler whole mount nerve staining protocol and, I was wondering if anyone could help me to clarify a question about the fixative. The standard Sihler's protocol uses the 10% unneutralized (unbuffered) formalin for fixation. Do you think that using the commercial stabilised unneutralised formalin (stabilised with methanol) will compromise the staining? Should I make 10% unneutralised formalin from paraformaldehyde powder?
Thank you
