We have helped that problem by being sure there is adequate graded
alcohols on the Peloris. There must be between 60-70%, 80-90%, and 95%
before you have the 100% alcohols. If the concentration's are too high
there is inadequate infiltration of the tissue's. We usually only use
the 2 hour
The machine will work well only if it is set up well and the staff follows
all of the prompts. We set up ours with two stations of 80% alcohol in the
beginning to make sure it starts with a good graded series of alcohols.
Another thing to look at is the biopsy pad percentage. Setting it right
I you are going to choose to override the prompts, you had best revert
back to a schedule of changing solutions on a rotating schedule.
You probably had something like that in place with your previous
processor. I would call Leica to have them send out someone to help get
your processing
