I'm going to try to take a stab at this, but I don't know specifically about
the picrosirius red stain. I'm going to talk in general about stains and
fixation (or lack thereof in the frozen section (FS)), and the relationship
between fixation and staining. I'm going to start out very simple, and
The following (from "The Book" - that may never be published!):
It is also important to remember that -20oC is not suitable for storing frozen
tissue. Have you ever noticed that meat stored too long in the freezer suffers
"freezer-burn"; it appears dried-out? The condition is primarily caused by
Our hospital facility, as well, are faithful Ventana customers. We have 3
ultras and appreciate the ease and flexibility needed for a busy hospital
facility. The slide drawers are random access so the slides are staining
independently from one another. Another great feature of the ultra is th

I really do not know of any study comparing -20ºC vs -80ºC or if this -80ºC is
the result of a commercially driven "ideal" storage method. I advise you to
check about any bibliographic references BUT meanwhile I also advise you to
keep your precious and irreplaceable material at -80ºC. I do not
Hi Mehndi. I hope this is still useful information. I wanted to let you know
that I am a faithful Ventana user. I have been using strictly Ventana IHC
stainers for several years now. Currently we have two Ultras. They are very

picro using the same kit but in frozen section. The stain looks very, very
intense. Sections are really red. When looking under the bri
I have a Leica autostainer that is capable of several different programs,
including dehydrating/rehydrating. I use it to counterstain my IHC so the
