Re: [Histonet] setting up for staining
We have used this set up for several years now for CT biopsies. We like the setup because it is portable ( it is contained in a carrier for transport). The reagents are good for about 3-4 uses (we use it rapidly so contamination occurs quickly) and then it must be changed. The stains are changed less frequently. My only complaint is that the description says the containers can be loosely joined but you may as well disregard that. The containers do not stay together at all.

[Histonet] setting up for staining
Hello! My lab doesn't really do staining (H and E, Masson Trichrome) too often (maybe once a week), but I'd really like to have a set of dishes with all of the plastic bins and what not. Unfortunately, this costs $500 for just one row. Has anyone tried the newer set-ups like this https://us.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=4790248 It's remarkably cheaper, but I wonder if that's because it's not as good. We don't have a lot of money, and convincing my boss to even consider this will probably be difficult. I've been using three glass dishes and pouring reagents in and out of them; it's time to move on to an actual set where we can store the reagents in the dish. While I wish we could buy the cool Tissue Tek version (since everyone else has it), it's not feasible at all considering the cost. (Also, Ann, stop lurking I know you're reading this!!) Emily By bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of their own horror stories. Grow bored. Only then could they accept a new story for their lives.

RE: [Histonet] setting up for staining
We use the same setup for our cytology staining. We run a Pap stain about once every three weeks. Those dishes and racks are sturdy.

Re: [Histonet] setting up for staining
I am very interested in everyone's experience with this as well. I was just (this week!) looking into this set for performing FNA's in a doctors' office.

[Histonet] setting up for staining
Hi, It's a good setup for a smaller volume lab. The racks hold 10 slides and the dishes slide together and link into a chain or can be used separately. I have used the dishes for antigen retrieval and they haven't cracked or warped. I haven't regretted the purchase.
