Results Summary

Great and reliable. No problems with dye breakdown or loss of brightness. Fixed samples in 4% PFA for 20 minutes (for biosafety reasons) and haven't noticed any change or problems with the staining. Had Ab for several years, and the last aliquot worked just as well as the first. There were no major problems with compensation either.
