To overcome these problems, rehydration solutions such as Sandison’s solution have been utilized in both paleohistological and forensic contexts. In this study, we introduce another procedure utilizing acetic acid to rehydrate dried tissue for forensic trace evidence analysis. We prepared mock mummified tissue specimens by drying sliced animal skin tissues to simulate fragmented tissue specimens found at crime scene investigations. Acetic acid treatment improved the staining results efficiently for both hematoxylin-eosin staining and connective tissue staining compared with specimens without rehydration treatments.
