[Histonet] Leica Tissue Processor- Issue with Eosin in alcohol

[Rene J Buesa]

Not likely. 
The eosin in ethanol has no special qualities that will make a valve to get stuck.
Try to find out other possible reason.

Hi All,

Have any of you had FAILURE of valves or downtime due to over use of Eosin in the Leica Asp 3000?

I used to use 1-2 mls, never had a problem.  The Histotech that is no longer here (do the math) trained my new person to literally "pour" in the eosin. So possibly 10-30mls are going into each bottle.  Is that enough to 'make the valves stick'?

Please advise if you have had or heard of this problem.
