Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Al(III) hematoxylin and eosin staining was carried out according to manufacturer instructions (Vector Laboratories, Hematoxylin and Eosin stain kit H-3502). For Fe(III) hematoxylin and eosin staining, ferric ammonium citrate (Sigma Aldrich, RES20400-A702X) was dissolved and mixed in equal molarity with air-aged hematoxylin (hematein) dissolved in deionized water. Air-aged hematoxylin was generated by vigorously shaking the water-hematoxylin solution (Sigma Aldrich, H9627–25G) daily to aerate the solution over 14 days prior to experimentation. For comparison, hydrogen peroxide (3 % v/v, Sigma Aldrich 88597) was used to chemically cure fresh hematoxylin solution. Mild non-ionic detergent (Tween 20, Fisher Scientific, BP337–100) was used to prevent dye clumping and precipitation in solution. In some cases, ethanol (Fisher Scientific, BP2818500) was added to the dye mixture with or without 4 % v/v paraformaldehyde (32 %, Electron Microscopy Sciences, 15714-S). Genomic DNA was extracted from mouse tail, purified into mild storage buffer and frozen as stocks before addition into samples.

Optimizing Formamide Concentration for RNA Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following (Raj et al., 2006 (link)), a range of
formamide concentrations was initially tested to empirically determine the optimal
value. 20% (w/v) formamide gave the best results in that it was high enough so
that background noise due to non-specific binding was low, while still low enough
so that the fluorescence signal from target mRNA molecules was not impaired.
10 ml of wash solution contains 1.76 ml of formamide (Ambion, AM9342), 1 ml of 20×
SSC (Ambion, AM9763), and 10 μl Tween-20 (Fisher Scientific, BP337-100). Wash
solution was made fresh and stored on ice until use. 10 ml of hybridization
solution contains 1 g of dextran sulfate (Sigma, D8906), 1.76 ml of formamide, 10
mg of E. coli tRNA (Sigma, R4251), 1 ml of 20× SSC, 40 μl of 50
mg/ml BSA (Ambion, AM2616), and 100 μl of 200 mM ribonucleoside vanadyl complex
(New England Biolabs, Ipswich, NY, S1402S). Hybridization solution was filter
sterilized and aliquots of 500 μl were stored at -20°C.
