We are experiencing contamination of GMS and PAS-F stained slides with a filamentous microorganism, bacterial or possibly fungal. Our flotation baths and stainers are cleaned daily with Sparkleen and water. We use distilled water to fill the baths. We use the Ventana system for the stains, which is decontaminated regularly. Anyone one else experience this? Any suggestions to the cause of this.
