[Histonet] Re: Staing rack for ground section??

[Jack Ratliff]

Marc,
 
My apologies for butting in here, but basically the length of the rack is a bit larger than the 100 mm slides and a looser fit. Also, the height of the slides is larger than the rack inserts and can sometimes create a stability problem when staining a full rack. As Andrew has stated, it is the next best thing and this product can work for you. However, the staining dish is also a problem because the slides do not stain vertical in the traditional sense meaning that you need the larger 600 ml volume dishes.
 
If you would like to contact me privately, I would love to speak with you more about what you are trying to accomplish and help point you in the right direction with this sort of thing.
 
Best Regards,
 
Jack
