Both frozen sections and paraffin-embedded tissue are considered satisfactory for iron staining, as per the Instructions For Use. Blood or bone marrow films are prepared in the usual fashion, air-dried for at least 30 minutes, and fixed in absolute methanol for 7 minutes.

Does EDTA affect Prussian Blue staining for siderocytes and other blood cells found in bone marrow?
1 answer-
While slides anticoagulated with EDTA may be suitable for demonstrating iron in peripheral blood smears and bone marrow smears, bone marrow that has been decalcified in EDTA may not demonstrate iron using the Perl’s or Prussian Blue Method. Even for bone marrow smears, EDTA can diminish or remove iron from bone marrow aspirates if the levels of EDTA used in collection are high. EDTA has various uses in laboratories, including as an anticoagulant and a decalcifying agent to chelate calcium from bone. By removing the calcium, bone can be processed into paraffin blocks and cut into thin sections using a microtome. EDTA can also be used to chelate a number of other metals, including iron. Once the iron deposits have been removed from osseous bone, the iron deposits are also removed from cells at the same time. Consequently, bone marrow smears that have been decalcified in EDTA will generally stain negative for iron in bone marrow slides.

Is ECM590 compatible with Prussian blue staining, and does it work for both paraffin and frozen sections?
1 answer-
It's uncertain whether it would be possible to dual stain a tissue section with a Prussian Blue staining procedure and the IHC kit ECM590. However, it's recommended to try the ECM590 kit and then perform the Prussian Blue staining procedure. The color contrast should not be a problem, but the use of DAB for demonstrating both anti-von Willebrand Factor and anti-CD31 primary antibodies may lead to brown staining for both antibodies.

Is EDTA an acceptable anticoagulant for use with the Iron Stain Kit, Product HT20?
1 answer-
Blood and bone marrow samples should be drawn without the use of EDTA as an anticoagulant. The EDTA chelates enough Iron to interfere with adequate staining. We advise using heparinized blood or freshly drawn blood which has not been anticoagulated.
