2022-02-03 Thread Cathy M. Mathis/Comparative Medicine via Histonet
Hello Histology friends, We are a research lab with a 5 year old Leica ST5020 autostainer that looks like new. We run less than 5000 slides a year on it. We noticed that (of course just after the warranty ended) that one of the water rinse stations stayed full of water all the time, even when

Hello Dr. Rosen and Histonetters, We have used a Leica Bond RX for over 2 years now, cleaning and caring for it just as you do. My work is mostly animal which is why we mainly choose the red chromogen alkaline phosphatase detection kit. We see the same artifact sporadically. Sometimes we will

Hello Histo-netters! I have a Bond RX and before I try to recreate the wheel, I thought I would ask some experts. Has anyone used a goat primary on this instrument and if so how? Also, has anyone had success with TUNEL on this instrument and if so, could you share your knowledge? Thank you all
