Re: [Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 204, Issue 6

Good morning All,
I have had my fair share of nails falling off. I have found sometimes
letting the slides air dry over night and staining then the next day helps.
Have you tried thus yet?
Respectfully
Krista

Our H&E sections usually stain without issue but when we do our special stains 
(PASF and GMS) the tissue falls off routinely.

We use charged slides and if a section falls off, we coat the recut slide with 
albumin to help get extra adherence. However sometimes even this does not help 
the tissue stick through the whole process (especially on GMS).


Does anyone have any additional suggestion we could try to get the sections to 
adhere better throughout the process?
