[Histonet] CAP GEN. 41770 Residual Detergent on Glassware

2012-10-12 Thread Valerie O'Connor
Hi All, I process and stain GI biopsies only. I use do a basic HE, Diff Quick for H.pylori, PAS for candida , Trichrome, and Alcian Blue/PAS. Is anyone aware of documentation stating that residual detergent on glassware would have a deleterious affect on the quality of the stains mentioned

Over the years I have heard about some folks obsessing (my opinion) about this. I have never had a problem and I don't think it is an issue, assuming one rinses the glassware thoroughly. If the glass is clean water does not bead but sheets off. I only used distilled water for silver stains,
