Hello Everyone.
I our lab we've purchased all used equipment. None of these instruments
came with a user's manual. I am in need of a manual (hard-copy or PDF)
for the following:

Leica Jung Histo Embedder
Microm HM335E Microtome
I do realize that
One of my pathologist would like to do PSA, P504S (alpha-methylacyl-CoA
racemase), and CD31 on whole mount prostates. Is there anyone out there
doing this and if so could I ask some questions of you? We have not done
immunos on whole mounts before and since no automation supports whole
mount
Im looking for a Tissue Tek VIP 2000 manual. Could anyone help me out? I went
to the archives and could not find in particular a manual hiding in there
anywhere. Any and all help is appreciated.

Have you asked Sakura, Leica, and Microm?
It would be interesting if they wouldn't provide manuals for their
equipment, used or not.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had the experience of massive overstaining with commercial Surgipath
Alcohol-based Eosin? I manually stained with Surgipath Hx for 2mins, then bluer
the eosin for 30secs and the whole tissue was completely pink!
Thanks

We use the ProLong Antifade Kit (P7481) from Molecular probes.
It comes as:

1mL of component B should be mixed well in a vial of powder. This should be
