4. Incubation can be stopped - if necessary - after 48 or 96 h, as well.
While in the first case weaker signals are possible, in the second
case some cross-hybridization problems may arise.
5. During the washing steps it is important to prevent the slide surfaces
drying out, otherwise background problems may arise.
