[Histonet] Crystals in PAS stain

[donna mihalik rossi via Histonet]

We are also having crystals show up on our PAS stain using the Ventana 
Benchmark . I was hoping using a new lot of stain would solve the problem but 
from previous posts I see this did not help.  I will be contacting the company 
tomorrow. Anyone else having this issue?  Thanks for your input.  Donna Rossi,

[Histonet] Crystals in PAS

[Amos Brooks via Histonet]

Hi,
   If you are having trouble with the instrument and the manufacturer isn't
able to fix it, just hand stain them. PAS is really not a complicated
stain. Please don't just accept underperforming equipment when we are all
capable of so much more.

[Histonet] Crystals in PAS from Ventana

[Mark, Danielle via Histonet]

I am wondering if anyone else has been having issues with the PAS stain.  The 
crystals are not rinsing off of the slide using the benchmark special stainer.  
We are on our 3rd lot number, no change.  We have had our tubing changed and 
our instrument checked to make sure the rinse is appropriate.  This problem is 
causing our lab great frustration.  Any feedback would be appreciated.
