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.
For routine diagnosis, the use of H&E staining is by far preferred for viewing cellular & tissue structure detail. Learn about best practices, protocol & more.
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 ...
Stain with filtered 0.1% Mayers Hematoxylin for 10 minutes in a Coplin jar. Rinse in cool running ddH2O for 5 minutes. Stain with Eosin (0.5% in 95%EtOH) 12 times.
