2011-10-04 Thread rgrow
Good Morning Histonetters! I've been having a counterstain problem with my GMS and PAS-F. Both stains work as they should until the green counterstain is applied. I cannot get my tissue (control or patient) to uptake the counterstain. I have varied time, temperature, even companies. I have

Many thanks to all who responded to the green counterstain problem. It was the working solution that was bought premade that I had problems with. The addition of glacial acetic acid fixed my problem. Again, thank you Histonet! Renee Grow, BA., HT (ASCP) rg...@bmnet.com Histology Supervisor Blount

R C, In past years, I've section many primate brains in normal size sections but not whole, so this may/may not help. If it was fixation you would not be able to get a complete section in the first place, so your fixation should not be a problem. If it was the adaptor on your microtome you would

Hi Scott, Your discription of eosin leaching out after a few days is classic for the possibility of bleach contamination on your staining containers. There are multiple possibilities of other causes, but this could be a simple cause, easily solved. Renee Grow, BA., HT (ASCP) rg...@bmnet.com

Jennifer, I have an older model Dako Autostainer that still works well. Dako does still service it, too. It had a printer available, but we chose not to use it. Our volume is small, ~2400 slides yr. The size/type stainer you choose should be based on the number of immuno's that you do a year.
