I used the Vindelov method for many years to prepare trout RBC nuclei
for use as standards. Cytometry 3 323-327.
On one occassion a blood sample was contaminated with sperm
following unexpected activity from the trout! After processing,
the preparation conveniently contained two standards, diploid
rbc nuclei and haploid sperm. This was stable for many months and may
prove a useful alternative method for storing fish sperm nuclei
(alone!) for PI staining.
