Crystal Violet

1.Preparation of MitoSOX Red working solution
Dilute the 2 g Crystal Violet in 20 mL 95% ethanol andmixed with 80 ml 1% ammonium oxalate solution solution for 24 h to obtain working solution.
2.Sample processing
2.1 Paraffin section:
First dewaxing with xylene for 5-10 min, then with fresh xylene, then dewaxing with 100% ethanol for 5 min after dewaxing for 5-10 min. Then 90% ethanol was used for 2 min. At last, 70% ethanol was used for 2 min. DDH2O 2 min.
2.2 Frozen section:
distilled water for 2 min.
