Over the years I have heard about some folks obsessing (my opinion)
about this.
I have never had a problem and I don't think it is an issue, assuming
one rinses the glassware thoroughly.
If the glass is clean water does not bead but sheets off. I only used
distilled water for silver stains, making osmium for EM, etc.
Look up 'water break test' and see if you can find anything helpful.

Hi All,
I process and stain GI biopsies only. I use do a basic H&E, Diff Quick for
H.pylori, PAS for candida , Trichrome, and Alcian Blue/PAS.
Is anyone aware of documentation stating that residual detergent on glassware
would have a deleterious affect on the quality of the
stains mentioned above. I cannot find anything.
Thanks in advance,
