Hi Histonetters,
Does anyone have any recommendations on slide drying ovens that work well for
IHC? Would probably like a fan in the oven for even temperature and shorter
drying time.

According to the Histonet archives, this hasn't been discussed for almost a
decade. How are labs drying/curing their slides before they are filed?
We are a small oral pathology laboratory and we hand-coverslip using Richard

Hi Laurie,
Biocare has one that I have used, they call it the desert chamber pro, one
of the few that is setup and designed expressly for drying slides. It
works very well, and has different heating options and a timer. However,
all you may need is a basic mechanical convection oven, Boekel has
Can anyone recommend a small, forced air slide drying oven?

I'm looking for recommendations for a new slide drying oven. Something
relatively small, with convection. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks !

A little twist on this topic I would like a few opinions on. We just
received 2 new drying ovens that are gravity convection versus the older
two which use a fan to circulate air. In the past I have used both and
noticed no appreciable difference, even though this constitutes a

Place the slides in every other slot of basket and dry for 15-20 min at 69
celcius, let cool in front of fan for 1-2 min. You are able to combine baskets
at this step.

We use MM24 from Surgipath. We file our slides within 24 hours. I don't know if
it will work in 12 hours, but maybe it's worth trying.

Hi Erin
While the request from your pathologists seems unreasonable from my experience
the following steps will give the best results. Use a rapid drying mountant
many of which are on the market. Consult your local suppliers. Dry in an
incubator as you have been doing but when you remove fr

One way to allow faster drying is to get a more fluid mounting medium. If you
use it as it comes from the manufacturer it will take longer. Even if it is
toluene based, if you add some xylene and get a really fluid mounting medium
you
as soon as
your pathologists want.
They are always trying for the histotechs to perform miracles and most of their
request stem from not knowing how things work in the histology lab. It is a
pity.

I would suggest filing using the spacer coils and then removing them
after 4-7 days.
