Hi Kimmie-
Are you running your slides down in the routine HE set up, ie are you using
eosin 'contaminated' alcohols. Maybe you are lingering too long
Has anyone else had problems with the counterstain on the ventana being pink
instead of that lovely pale blue color? Ventana says it's because we use
Sta-On, but we don't always use Sta-On and the pink vs. blue staining doesn't
correlate with whether Sta-On has been used or not. Don't get me
I am exploring the possibilty of recruiting a student to work at our facility
and obtain histology training online (leading to a histotechnician
certificate). I have found programs through the University of North Dakota,
Indiana University School of Medicine, and Harford Community College in
Our lab is in the market for a new processor. Does anyone have experience with
the Tissue Tek
VIP 6? And does anyone have experience using it xylene-free? Our histology
supervisor would
love to talk with you.
