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.
