We wick our sections dry and then incubate for 15 to 20 minutes @ 70-75 degrees in a convection oven. We tried lower temps and longer baking times for many of our markers, but we didn't see any discernable staining difference.

Left air dry o/n on room. Next day started with deparaffinization steps 2x30min. My most AR where in the citrate buffer in the water bath with 92C(if I remember correctly) for 37 minutes then 12 minutes cooling at room temperature. Never had a problem.
