> Hi Histo World,
>
> HELP!! Mid December our VIP 5 went down. I work in a GI lab with a
> workload of 300 daily. Our lab obtained another refurbished VIP 5. But now we
> are starting to see the same symptoms as we seen on our old VIP before it
> went down. Some of the symptoms are formalin carry over (formalin level goes
> down after each run), our 95 w/eosin is carrying over to all solutions all
> the way to the paraffin. Now our small GI bx are starting to feel unfixed and
> has patchy staining. Has anyone dealt with any of these issues?
> We maintenance our VIP weekly and change all solutions and all paraffins Once
> a month we do our warm water flush. Below is our set up
>
> 1st level: Formalin, Formalin, 70%, 80%, 95% w/eosin,
> 2nd level: 100,100, 100, xylene, xylene
> 3rd level: cleaning xylene, cleaning alcohol, water, empty, fume con. water
