My pathologist, having had the opportunity to review some cases from the offender's laboratory, promptly replied Yes, and with the quality of your slides it looks like you did just that. She shut down the other pathologist really quickly, and as far as I know, we never received another case to review from him. My pathologist was not about to let that kind of arrogance stand.

Hi Bernice, I have found that if you flood the slide with mounting media (don't use xylene) flip the slide over onto an absorbent lab wipe and put a heavy weight with even pressure and leave for a few hours. If the slide sticks to the wipe just put a few drops of xylene to clean up the slide. You may still have some tiny bubbles but it is much better than the alternative. Good luck.

Hi all, We received some old slides (1997-1998) that were coverslipped with film. Sakura I would imagine. The issue here is that the coverslips have come up from the slide and the tissue is adhered to the back of the coverslip. They need to be recovered so they can be evaluated. What do you all recommend? We use the CV5030 for coverslipping. I tried one with xylene and mounting media but there were still a couple of air bubbles in there.
