Hi Brandi, We don't do the PAP stain, but do have multiple stains programmed into our Leica ST5020. It can easily handle both stain programs with switching out containers. Regards, Lori -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.u

Same here for printing staying on. We use Thermo ColorFrost, slides have no problems. It may depend on the finish the manufacturer uses for the paint on the slides. Pam Marcum -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwe
