I think it's more depending on the organic solvent used before coverslipping. We use butyl acetate in the last trogh in the stainer and in the coverslipper. This reagent dries/ evaporates very fast. So after 15 min there is hardly a smell of it and we deliver our slides immediately. We use Pertex as coverslipping medium.

We are currently using Micromount by Surgipath/Leica and it is not drying fast enough. Any suggestions are appreciated as we have to package our slides for shipping and the media is either sticking to the bubble wrap or creating circles on the slides from the pressure of the bubble wrap. -- Katelin Lester, HTL Gastroenterology Specialists of Oregon, P.C.
