This protocol is applied in the routine staining of cationic and anionic tissue components in tissue sections. This is the standard reference stain used in the study of histochemical tissue pathology. SPECIMEN REQUIRED: Snap frozen human striated muscle. (Use the 2-methylbutane freezing method) METHOD: Fixation: None. Use snap frozen tissue.
Steps to Better Routine (H&E) Staining + Coverslipping From patient to pathologist, preparing tissue specimens for histological examination requires care, skill and sound procedures. This guide provides practical advice on best practice techniques and simple ways to avoid common errors.
This procedure establishes a consistent process for preparing H&E slides from frozen or FFPE tissue samples using the automated H&E stainer and coverslip instruments. This
Protocol for H&E staining: While sections are in water, skim surface of hematoxalin with a Kimwipe to remove oxidized particles. Blot excess water from slide holder before going into hematoxalin. Coverslip slides using Permount (xylene based).
To perform an H&E stain, follow the procedure below to re-hydrate, dehydrate and stain the tissue sections. Same solvents can be used for multiple tissue sections but should be changed daily or more often if they become contaminated (strongly colored by the stains). References: 1.

Hematoxylin and Eosin Stain For Fresh Frozen Section (H&E) PROCEDURE: 1. Take slides immediately from freezer and place in cold fixative (10% Neutral Buffered Formalin or 4% PFA) for 10 minutes 2. Rinse slides in 1X PBS, 2 times for 3 minutes each to remove OCT or other tissue embedding compound 3. Rinse in a gentle stream of tap water for 1 ...
Routine H&E Staining. What is H&E? Hematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E) is one of the principal stains in histology. This stain has been unchanged for many years because it works well with a variety of fixatives and displays a broad range of cytoplasmic, nuclear, and extracellular matrix features.
