I was at a meeting last week and someone mentioned that for acridine
orange staining, slides should not be methanol fixed.

Can anyone explain why this should be, or alternatively, tell me this
information is rubbish.  I have methanol fixed slides before and haven't
noticed a problem.

Regards

Gary
