[Histonet] Trichrome Kit Failures

[Blake Taylor]

Is anyone having Trichrome Kit Failures on the Ventana Benchmark Special Stainers.  We are running into Kits that present with 10 stains left but we are finding the mordant has actually run out and the stains will be all blue.  There is no way of knowing this will happen ahead of time.  The machine does not have an alert.  This has happened with different kits from different lot numbers.  Ventana is researching but they are telling us that no one else is experiencing this problem.  If anyone has run into similar problems I would love to hear from you.

Thanks
