We have the Leica linear stainer (Also sold by Avantik?) and have it set at 7
second intervals. The stain takes about 100 seconds.
Slides are fixed in the Coplin jar with 95% Alcohol then loaded:
The stations are in order:
1. Water wash
2. Hemotoxylin (Richard Allen 7211)
3. Hemotoxylin (Richard Allen 7211)
4. Hemotoxylin (Richard Allen 7211)
5. Water wash
6. Bluing (we use Surgipath SelecTech Blue Buffer 8 concentrate, diluted
according to directions
7. Water wash
8. Eosin (1% Alcoholic)
9. 95% Alcohol
10. Absolute Alcohol
11. Absolute Alcohol
12. Absolute Alcohol
13. Xylene
14. Xylene
The slides are clean and consistent with great differentiation. The Richard
Allen 7211 Hematoxylin does not require filtering and seems to last forever.
I sincerely hope this helps.

Hello Histonet,
My name is John Raible, and I work at the VA medical center in Minneapolis. I
am trying to find routine H&E frozen section staining protocols for an
automated linear stainer. My lab recently got one, and I was asked to research
staining protocols Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all. Stay safe and healthy!
John

Fix in 10% NBF - 10 minutes
Rinse in running tap water - 5 minute
Rinse in distilled water
Gill 2 Hematoxylin - 1 1/2 minutes
1% Glacial Acetic water - 3 dips
Running water - 2 minutes
(we do not need bluing agent - our water takes care of it)
95% Ethanol -2 minutes
1% Eosin/Phloxine - 2 minutes
95% Ethanol - 2 minutes
Remaining dehydration in absolute ethanol & xylene - 2 mintues rest of the way
down

What platform does everyone use to carry out FFPE PCR testing?
Seeking to bring in as many genetic mutation testing options as possible
(BRAF, KRAS, NRAS...etc.)
