[Histonet] RE: Automated coverslipper with Ventana labels

[Rathborne, Toni]

Although we do not have a Ventana stainer, we did demo one a few years back. At the time, there were no coverslipping problems with our Leica CV5030.

Hi Teri, 

And welcome to San Diego!!!!!!!!  :-)

My experience is, that you cannot leave the slides with the Ventana labels sitting in xylene for too long before coverslipping. I believe it is just how these labels are and doesn't have much to do with the coverslipper itself.

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if any of you out there are currently using an automated coverslipper and do not have issues with the forks picking up the slides if they have Ventana labels on them.  I have used a Leica and had only very occasionally a dropped slide. Is this your experience as well? Are there other units that would work well for this?

Feel free to contact me off list if you need to.

Thanks!
