Second is to cut and dry at room temp and not melt, then store. Don't cut, melt and store. The issue is oxidation. Keeping in paraffin prevents oxidation. You'll protect the antigens better if they are fully isolated from air, which paraffin does, but once cut, they are exposed. That happens in the fridge as well and I'm not sure refrigeration helps much. I'm guessing that you don't do a lot of these, so you don't want to cut a lot of slide and have them sitting around for months waiting for use.

The Pathologists in HemePath are seeing what they refer to as smudginess in cells on some areas of the completed PAS slides. We have looked at everything and cannot find where the issue is coming from at this point. We have done manual staining for PAS, automated on the Leica stainer and on the Dako Artisan. All methods show the same result for some slides. We can go for several days to a week or more with no problem and then suddenly it is back and we have changed nothing in the way we do the processing, embedding, sectioning, deparaffinization and coverslipping. We do as many as 38 bone marrow cores a night or as few as 8 and can find no correlation in the number we have to deal with for a given period. All bone marrows drawn today must be completed by 8AM tomorrow morning. Fixation after pulling the bone marrows is a minimum of 2 hours in AZF with a maximum of 7 hours +/-. Grossed and placed in cassettes for 15 minute rinse in running DI Water Decal currently in the Milestone Decal Unit for 45 minutes in Immunocal at 50C Rinsed in running DI water for 15 minutes Placed in 10% NBF and processed on a 4 hour program with a delay of 4 hours minimum to come off at 4:45AM. If anyone knows of any literature on decal effects on PAS staining in bone marrows please contact me. This has been going on for months and no matter what we do manual staining, Leica adaptation for automated or Dako it is not helping. Dako has been great with sending in technical experts repeatedly and we cannot get this corrected.
