We always put a small (tiny!) drop of Kodak PhotoFlo in the water bath. It's a surfactant, so likely any diluted detergent would work. Be careful not to get too much in there, your ribbons will want to sink. Teri Johnson, HT(ASCP)QIHC GNF Histology Lab Manager Genomics Institute of the Novartis

[Histonet] Uneven Staining

2012-11-27 Thread Elizabeth Cameron
About a year ago, I posted about issues with staining mouse kidney sections (see below for original post). We realized that part of the problem was the sections drying during staining, which has been resolved, but we are still having some issues with some slides staining well and others being

Barry, Thanks for the suggestion. We are generally only able to get about 10-15 sections in a ribbon due to the nature of the tissue, and the pale staining last for 30+ sections at times. We are also cutting on multiple microtomes (one microtome/kidney, but MANY kidneys!), so all microtomes

This is quite a puzzling situation. You have ruled out dewaxing (that was my first idea of cause) but I do not think that soaking will be the problem because the sections are fixed and infiltrated with paraffin, so there is no possibility of diluting in water. Thick/thin sections in a series is

As most other bases have been covered, do you leave space between the slides in the rack? Once in a blue moon we had stains from the same rack that differed in intensity, after much troubleshooting we started putting space between the slides and we haven't had the problem since. Just an idea.
