Are you using synthetic xylene in your HE/COVER SLIPPING protocol. If yes, you might want to consider ending your protocol with the real thing (XYLENE). I had the same situation until we switched to real XYLENE. No more HE fading. THANK YOU,   PATTI RUBEN-NELSON  H.T.(ASCP) PNP LABORATORY

I should also have added not all synthetic Xylenes do this and I also use a Microwave Processor. These variables may have been a factor. Wonderful world of Histology, TRIAL AND ERROR.    THANK YOU,   PATTI RUBEN-NELSON  H.T.(ASCP) PNP LABORATORY CONSULTANTS SUPERVISOR/DGC P.O. BOX 412 CABAZON,

Amita, We are a neurotoxicology lab that also provides histology services for other researchers inside outside Rutgers, and we use Gill's #3 hematoxylin for our routine HEs on mouse and rat tissues. No fading that I have noticed in all the years that I have been here. We get ours from Thermo

It seems that your mounting medium is acid. Try to correct that rather than changing the staining. René J. --- On Thu, 7/7/11, amitapan...@torrentpharma.com amitapan...@torrentpharma.com wrote: From: amitapan...@torrentpharma.com amitapan...@torrentpharma.com Subject: [Histonet] Routine H E
