Obviously, you're going to get a much different result using a polychromatic stain, than by doing a standard H&E. But if the pathologists like it... I'm not even sure if they could call that stain an H&E in their dictation. Seems like that would open them up to liability if, God forbid, they ever

Has anyone tried using Hologic's Thin Prep solutions (Nuclear stain, rinse, and bluing) to do their H&E stains? I am trying to validate a new stainer and in the process the pathologists want to tweak our protocol to get a better stain and thought maybe we could try this to see about saving money i

Dear All, There are many variants to the standard H + E protocol. I'm seeking to optimize the current protocol our laboratory uses (pasted below). Do you guys have any suggestions of optimization (e.g. cutting down on the long water rinse after hematoxylin and increasing bluing reagent time)? Or i

Hi Charles, If my memory serves, Clarifier 1 and Clarifier 2 are different mostly in that one is an alcoholic solution and the other an aqueous one. So they both behave differently in their mechanism of action. The alcohol based reagent should remove more hematoxylin from the cells than the aqu

Usually inconsistency in H&E staining has two different sources: either the staining process itself, or the previous tissue processing sequence.Your staining protocol has a "standard" sequence but I would add an additional xylene and would increase the time in hemtoxylin to 7 minutes for you wil
