Dana,

There was heaps written about this on Histonet previously, look in the
archives.
We found that the problem was associated with the Plus slides when used in
conjunction with an EDTA buffer as the material used to coat the slides is a
calcium salt and the EDTA was affecting the coating by chelating the
calcium!!!

All the best

To my colleagues:

I have a question.Is anyone out there having occasional staining(orlack of
staining on IHc slides?) I was told that the charge or the way the slides
are charged can have (pardon the pun) a negative effect. Does anyone know
/experience or have the scientific data for this?
