Hi all,
I need expert opinions on this matter as my plant samples are detached during washing step of FISH. I used agarose as well as transparent nail polish for this purpose and to me agarose didn't work at all but nail polish works slightly. It provides a base to sliced plant tissue, when I put my hybridization slide into the washing buffer (50 ml falcon) and then in water bath; after heating up to 48 degree Celsius, the nail polish is no more stick and my plant samples swim in freely in the media. Though I doubt that it may not affect the hybridization but still I am not sure. Can you please share your practical experiences?
Thanks in advance
