Title: Micronucleus testing, stain too dark? Post by: Wifey2myWifey on Oct 8, 2016 Hello there! First time posting. :)
In any case, we did a micronucleus test on rat bone marrow in class this past week. I followed the directions to a T, and timed my staining to the second, with my slide in the Wright stain for exactly 2 minutes. Still, most of my erythrocytes were too dark to see anything, and I ended up just searching for paler ones to find some micronuclei. Any ideas why this might be? Thank you! Sheila |
