Hello to all in histoland. We are currently having a problem with candida on
our AFB slides. We are doing the stain by hand due to the unavailability of
the AFB kits from ventana. We are using bottled sterile water for rinses and
the slides are not being put in coplin jars for staining.
Having a problem with fungus on top of both the pas and gms stain. There are no
solutions used on both test. Other than distilled water we can not figure it
out. All solutions have been changed and clean containers used.

Two things I have seen dealt with 1) distilled water filter had not been
changed and was growing fungus 2) tech cutting slides had not changed water in
waterbath for I while.
