Hi all, They want them filed that fast because when they order recuts, stains, etc, they want the entire case set up again with the new orders and since we do 400-500 cassettes/day it would take too long for the clerical staff to look through slide flats to fine the original H&Es. Since they are divided between different docs so the flats are would not follow numerical order... I know it's expecting a lot to think that slides would be ready for file so fast. I needed some other opinions to show them. Thanks, Erin

They are glass coverslipped in an automated coverslipper at the reference lab we use and the our docs want them filed in less than 12 hours from the time they are coverslipped. We have been putting them in a 125 degree C convection oven for a few hours but the slides still get all stuck together in the file. They will not consider film coverslipping. Does anyone else file this quickly? I am grateful for any suggestions!
